About the artwork

Smooth contours define the sculptural form, characterized by an opaque, pale surface and a central longitudinal indentation that divides the volume. The object's composition references organic pebble-like shapes, utilizing the dense qualities of cast glass to absorb and diffuse light across the perimeter. Production involves specialized hot-glass techniques, followed by extensive cold-working processes to achieve the matte finish and refined tactile texture.

Expert opinion

Studio glass occupies a distinct intersection between fine art sculpture and contemporary craft, drawing collectors focused on material-led practices. The placement of this object within contemporary collections reflects an interest in minimalist volumes and tactile surfaces executed in non-traditional sculptural media.

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.
