About the Item
Layne Rowe, Blazing, 2024
Freeblown glass
H48 x W20 x D20 cm (18.9 x 7.9 x 7.9 in)
Original artwork
The pineapple sculpture is a profound symbol of hospitality and generosity. The fruit's epic journey, from tropical plantations to European shores, made it an extremely precious commodity, elevating it to the highest echelons of social status. Such was its prestige that wealthy hosts would often display pineapples as elaborate centrepieces at their gatherings, where they served purely as objects of admiration, rather than consumption. These prized fruits would be displayed prominently at social events, their mere presence signifying the host's wealth and sophistication, while guests would marvel at their distinctive form and regal presence.
After completing a degree in 3D design, Layne found an opportunity to work at Peter Layton’s London Glassblowing Studio, where he has inspired an evolving, vibrant and creative environment. Now producing his work at his home studio, highly equipped for all of his making processes.
Layne quotes, ‘I have always been inspired to create and have the desire to use my hands to see creations forming in front of my eyes. Glass is the ultimate medium for speed. It’s alive and requires constant attention and quick decision-making. Glass is a thrilling material to work with, and with its beautiful qualities such as fluidity,
transparency, and with all its colours, it creates its own inspiration.
Layne reverts to childhood memories, His love for birds and Wishing to have the ability to fly with the power of vision and views of the Landscape. Stratus coastlines with its corroded rock formations, and landscapes with layered horizons, as seen in his series ‘Woven’ and ‘New Horizons’. Work inspired by the vast Fenland skies. His love for
detail is a result of intricate cane work with overlays and fine cutting. Sculpted feathers with light, delicate details have led to large-scale wings named “SOLACE” and his Quill n ink series “Ornithology”
Layne has been invited to exhibit in the UK and worldwide, including the V
A, Saatchi gallery and Ebeltoft glass museum, among artists such as Graysen Perry, Alexander McQueen, Lino Tagliapietra and more. He was also awarded the Bavarian State Prize in 2015 for his Woven series.
