| Fish Description: | The art of Calcedonia glass sculpture is the perfect medium in which to capture this tropical sea inhabitant. While the Calcedonia making up the main body of "Fish" mimics both colorful scales and the natural flow of the ocean, this piece’s base imitates the coral that sweeps the ocean floor. One can imagine “Fish” as part of a larger school, darting amongst the plethora of life that is the bounty of the sea.
As with all of Dino Rosin’s Calcedonia glass works, no two sculptures will ever contain the same colors. The distinguishing colors of Calcedonia, comparable to the stripes in a zoned agate, are created through the introduction of silver nitrate to crystal clear glass. Patterns found in each Dino Rosin sculpture cannot be controlled since the colors depend solely upon the chemical reaction of each batch. As a result, every sculpture - including "Fish" - has the added element of chance upon that of unparalleled mastery.
Dino Rosin is a true "Maestro" from the celebrated glass art island of Murano, Italy. Rosin continues his family's tradition of glass blowing that dates back generations. "Fish" is a stunning example of this world famous artist's skill and lineage, with a combination of clear and "Calcedonia" glass, a lost art rediscovered by Loredano Rosin, Dino's predecessor and older brother. Rosin's studio produces the clearest and most colorful Calcedonia glass in the world. Impossible to duplicate, each piece is completely unique in its color. |
