Neuware - Michael Glancy gilt als bedeutender Erneuerer auf dem Gebiet des Studioglases. Nach einem Studium bei Dale Chihuly, einem weltweit bekannten Glaskünstler, fand er in der Kombination verschiedener Techniken seinen eigenen künstlerischen Ausdruck: Glancy arbeitet mit kaltem Glas, das er durch Sandstrahlen und Ätzen modelliert und durch Elektroformen mit Kupfer, Silber oder Gold beschichtet.Elegant und zugleich außergewöhnlich in ihrer Qualität und Schönheit, enthüllen Michael Glancys Skulpturen sein Streben nach Perfektion: Fasziniert von mikroskopischen Landschaften, übersetzt er Zellstrukturen und geologische Schichtungen in eindrucksvolle skulpturale Objekte. Ihre geätzten Gitterstrukturen erinnern an Längen- und Breitengrade, während die organisch gewellten Gefäße auf topographische Erhebungen anspielen. Die ihm eigene Art der Präsentation - einer flachen Glasplatte als skulpturaler Basis, welche das auf ihr stehende Gefäß begleitet und kommentiert - ist zu Glancys Markenzeichen geworden. Es scheint, als entfalte sich das zweidimensionale Universum der Platten und krümme sich in ein dreidimensionales Gefäß. Diese Transformation und sein Interesse an den Naturwissenschaften verorten Glancys Werk zwischen der Praxis der Alchemie - am Schnittpunkt von Physik und Metaphysik - und konzeptioneller Kunst.Michael Glancy ist mit seinen Arbeiten in zahlreichen internationalen Museen und Sammlungen vertreten. Seit 1982 lehrt und arbeitet er an der Rhode Island School of Design.…

- Michael Glancy is one of the most significant representatives of studio glass in the United States. This publication presents his recent works, which are hailed for their graceful complexity, startling originality and beautiful craftsmanship by combining a variety of glass machining techniques and the electroform process
- The Barry Friedman Gallery, New York are hosting an exhibition of Michael Glancy's works from February 2011
Michael Glancy is widely recognised as a prominent innovator in the field of studio glass. After studying with the critically acclaimed glass artist Dale Chihuly, he found his own artistic personality by combining different techniques: Glancy works with cold glass, which he sculpts through sandblasting and acid-cutting, and then coats with electroformed copper, silver or gold.
Elegant and exceptional in their quality and beauty, Michael Glancy's sculptures reveal the artist's pursuit for perfection; fascinated by microscopic landscapes, Glancy translates cellular structures and geological stratifications into impressive sculptural objects. The lattice patterns etched into the glass suggest latitude and longitude, while the organic and undulating vessels allude to topography. Glancy's own very specific mode of presentation - that of a base of sheet glass which shadows or connects to the standing vessel - has become his signature style. It is as if the two-dimensional world of the sheet of glass has developed and warped itself into a three-dimensional object. This transformation together with his scientific interests, positions his work between alchemy - at the intersection of physics and metaphysics - and conceptual art.
Michael Glancy's work is represented in numerous international museums and collections. Since 1982 he has taught and worked at the Rhode Island School of Design.
