About the artwork

Pale green tones suffuse this solid glass sculpture, shaped into a flattened, lens-like oval featuring a central depression characteristic of the maker's output. The upper surface is meticulously textured with an irregular, pitted pattern that catches and refracts light across its translucent perimeter. Cold-working techniques have been employed to shape the exterior skin, creating a tactile interplay between optical transparency and dense opacity. The composition references geological formations and organic biological structures, avoiding symmetrical perfection in favor of naturalistic irregularity.

Expert opinion

Occupying a specialized niche within contemporary studio glass, the sculpture reflects a synthesis of traditional craftsmanship and sculptural innovation. The maker's ability to manipulate light and density places the object in dialogue with contemporary craft and minimalist sculpture, appealing to collectors focused on high-craft materials and process-oriented art.

About the artist

Xavier Le Normand (b. 1978, France) is a French artist who lives and works in Ivry-sur-Seine. Initially trained as a jeweller at the Font Blanche workshops in Nîmes, he later joined CERFAV (Centre Européen de Recherches et de Formation aux Arts Verriers), where he became a Compagnon Verrier Européen and developed his expertise in glassmaking. His practice is distinguished by a strong understanding of material and craftsmanship, combining the precision inherited from jewellery with an experimental approach to glass. Le Normand explores the sculptural and expressive possibilities of the medium, allowing form, surface, transparency, and material transformation to play a central role in his work. His artistic research has received international recognition through several grants, including a City of Paris grant in 2004 and the Lino Tagliapietra Scholarship at Pilchuck Glass School in the United States in 2008.
