About the Item
‘Gambo Rame' is a unique centrepiece by the British artists, Anthony Scala and Liam Reeves.
With very differing practices, Scala and Reeves have collaborated to create works that are a unique result of their combined skills, whilst paying homage to traditional Venetian glass.
Beginning with free-blown elements created by Reeves, an authority on the history of Venetian glass
techniques, the final precise construction is undertaken by Scala. Elegant and refined, the hollow stem is filled with lustrous silver and brass patina leaf, accentuating the undulating form.
About Anthony Scala:
With a career in glass now spanning over 20 years, Scala creates art works that can only be described as acts of precision. As equally beautiful as they are meticulously created and despite being a hugely skilled glass blower, it is with cold working that Scala excels.
Initially qualified as an architectural model maker, it was during this time that Scala learnt many disciplines that would be equally relevant to and ultimately inform his practice today. His passion for glass was discovered however during an apprenticeship with Peter Layton at his studio at London Glassblowing. The beginning of a long standing association for him with this acclaimed studio.
In 2005 at the age of 27, Scala won the prestigious 'Glass Sellers Award' (other recipients have included Alison Kinnard, Colin Reid, Richard Jackson, and Bob Crooks) making him the youngest ever to receive the Glass Sellers main prize.
Scala has exhibited extensively throughout the UK, of particular note are;
The British Glass Biennale (selected for numerous years since 2004) Modern
Contemporary Glass at Bonhams (2009) Collect - the international art fair dedicated to modern Craft
Design.
In the artist’s own words;
“My inspiration is drawn from the optical effects glass and light can induce upon one another and in turn, how these shifting qualities can manipulate the perceived image of an object. Through them it is possible to create objects in which the laws of light, shadow, and reflection combine in ways only nature can dictate, thereby allowing us a tantalising, yet transitory glimpse of refractive creations forever beyond our grasp.”
About Liam Reeves:
Liam Reeves has been making glass professionally since 1998 when he graduated from Middlesex University with a BA (Hons) in three-dimensional design. Since that time he has honed his skills within in the glass industry by working with some of the best glassmakers in the UK.
In 2009 Reeves studied for an MA at the RCA in order to explore the creative possibilities of the medium of glassblowing. A large part of these studies took the form of investigating the pivotal techniques from glassblowing’s two-millennia of rich history and how these could be put to use within a contemporary context. From the mould blowing of ancient Rome to the complex goblet-making techniques of Renaissance Venice, to the finesse of factory manufactured glass after the Industrial revolution, Reeves views these not only for their immense historical importance but as a rich and inspiring resource.
Now highly in demand, Reeves has extensively demonstrated these techniques for public events, Universities and museums including the Victoria
Albert Museum in London. Testament to his expansive making knowledge and abundant range of glass skills, via an academic return, he is the hot-glass technician at the prestigious Royal College of Art in London, arguably the number one Art and Design university in the world.
In his own words:
'As technology advances, the ways that we perceive, understand, and influence the world around us are changing. As more aspects of human experience permeate through a filter of electronic manipulation, actual experience becomes entwined with the virtual. Through the use of digital tools, it becomes possible to understand form in terms of mathematical co-ordinates, existing only in a theoretical space. In parallel, the concept of craftsmanship itself is also transforming; skill in using digital media is being equated with skill in manipulating molten glass or other materials.'
Reeves has exhibited extensively throughout Europe and has received various awards including; RCA Charlotte Fraser Award (2010) CGS Glass prizes at New Designers (2011) The Best of the Best, Art in Action (2011) He has been nominated twice for The Perrier-Jouët Arts Salon (2015
2016). He has work in the permanent collections at the Ensting Stifting, Coesfield, Germany.
