Synopsis:

  • Pia Burrick is a remarkable artistic personality who made glass art her favourite form of expression
  • Her oeuvre testifies to a harmony between lines and surfaces in search of the ultimate connection between substance and emptiness, colour and transparency, image and shadow
  • Text in English and Dutch


    • The work of Pia Burrick isn't coquettish, but genuine. Her stories and images touch, move, and sometimes cause uneasiness. Burric's artistic oeuvre can be divided into applied and free work. Her functional applied glass creations are made to measure for specific interiors and complement existing elements. These creations, mostly stained-glass windows, are made using traditional techniques but are nonetheless contemporary in style and most of all in perfect harmony with the space. Her private work is more open, more sober and more powerful. The designs in which she toys with the boundary between figuration and abstraction are most imaginative and convincing. Glass allows working on both sides, opaque or transparent, projecting or reflecting, with or without colour. Burrick experiments with combinations of pure glass, enamel, lead or lead sheets. The themes and subjects determine the techniques. Images from around the home, newspaper photos or television stills are often at the base of her objects. Any image that is powerful and sticks in the mind is hung up in the studio, where it waits until it is transformed and takes on its definitive form. Pia Burrick is a remarkable artistic personality who made glass art her favourite form of expression.

      Text in English and Dutch.

From the Back Cover: Pia Burrick ontwerpt glas(-in-lood) creaties voor interieur en architectuur. In nauwe samenwerking met architecten vormt haar werk een subtiel geïntegreerde toegevoegde waarde bij een nieuwbouw- of renovatieproject. Rekening houdend met tal van factoren - niet in het minst met de spelingen van het licht - legt Burrick accenten die het verhaal van een huis af maken. Haar lijnen van lood bakenen af en vertellen. Glas en lood hebben voor haar nog amper geheimen. Naast dit meer 'dienend' werk is er een heel eigen artistiek oeuvre van decoratieve glas-inloodramen over beschilderde glazen schotels en glasjuwelen tot eigen gebrandschilderd figuratief werk en glasinstallaties, waarbij technieken zoals etsen, fusing en zandstralen gebruikt worden. Nog maar zelden staan praktische bezwaren het vormgeven van haar fantasieën in de weg. Haar hele oeuvre getuigt van een harmonieus spel van lijnen en vlakken op zoek naar de ultieme verhouding tussen lijn en leegte, kleur en transparantie, beeld en schaduw.
