A Long Trip: 26 Years of Kiln Glass Sculpture by Mark Abildgaard

John Natsoulas Gallery is pleased to announce  30 Years of Kiln Glass Sculpture by Mark Abildgaard. The exhibitions will run from November 1st-November 25th, 2017 with the opening reception on Friday, November 10th from 7-9pm.

Mark Abildgaard solo exhibition includes 30 years of kiln glass sculpture. Abildgaard finds inspiration in artifacts from many different cultures that convey a sense of mystery about mankind’s existence through time. Abildgaard uses images of totems, boats and figures in his work to explore ideas about the fragility of life and mortality. He creates archetypical images that are not specific to one culture and in working with these images he combines ancient forms with his own experiences. His work maintains a connection to the past and at the same time, reflects the immediate moment where glass, light and color intersect.
