Richard Meitner
Glass with Fiberglass
h. 55 cm

In his works, Meitner investigates how far he can manipulate glass by playing with its shape, color in pursuit of child-like curiosity. Such approach to material is often linked with French Surrealism, an art movement that particularly focuses on the power of the unconscious, dream-like imagery. The artist’s extensive study of the material, both academically and artistically, has become his trademark. ‘Ready’ is a great representative of Mietner’s artistic style, one where the formal properties of glass are changed beyond recognition. This sculpture activates the viewer’s imagination, proposing to see the process of creation, connect with it.
