Alex Gabriel Bernstein: New Glass Sculpture

March 1st - March 31st


Winterowd Fine Art

WINTEROWD FINE ART announces an exhibition of new glass sculpture by Alex Gabriel Bernstein. A powerful contrast and harmony exists between the delicate elegance of glass and the raw rusted surface of steel found in an Alex Gabriel Bernstein sculpture. The dissonant nature of the two materials somehow find a perfect world together. Alex’s sculptures begin at the kiln. Alex casts blocks of glass into shapes, which he then carves. The glass transforms under the blade of a wet cutting saw, polishing tools and hand chisels. With each slice of the saw and each blow of the hammer, the sculpture is continuously in danger of ruin. This deconstruction is what makes this sculptors work so unique. He challenges the casual observer’s perception of what glass can do, how it can be shaped and formed. They remind us of glaciers, waterfalls, stacked slate, a bird’s wing, geysers, seeds sprouting out of earth, rugged canyon walls, stalactites, jutting flames and oceanic waves. Though not a direct representation of any of these natural forms, there is something enigmatically familiar about them. They explore concepts of time, creation, transformation and the fragility of our environment. The son of glass artists William & Katherine Bernstein, Alex was encouraged to make art in the studio at a young age. He met and was mentored by many leading figures in the art glass movement. Alex thrived in this environment of learning. His intimate knowledge of glass allows a free exploration of the glass medium that is admired by artists and collectors alike. Bernstein received an MFA in glass sculpture from the School for American Crafts at RIT. Widely collected, Alex Gabriel Bernstein’s sculpture can be found in the Corning Museum of Glass, the Glasmuseum Frauenau, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the Palm Springs Art Museum to name a few.
