| Hoops Description: | This contemporary representation of one of the most popular sports today, “Hoops” depicts two figures reaching for victory. Dino Rosin has successfully captured the grace that the best athletes exhibit when they play the game. The level of physical fitness that is required to truly play the game well allows for what appears to the average person to be a godlike ability to slice through the air with ghostly ease. Dino Rosin’s air-born figures capture the essence of pure athleticism, while the colors of the Calcedonia glass serve to imbue this fine art glass sculpture with the vigor required to sustain the strength, speed, and agility portrayed in each sweeping line. 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 "Hoops" - 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. "Hoops" 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. |
