The exhibition delves into the expressive power of glass as a multi-faceted and versatile artistic medium, highlighting its evocative and contradictory qualities, generating new connections between matter, form, and content.
Most of the featured works have been generously donated to the museum’s collection by the artists; some have been presented in past exhibitions, while others are now being shown to the public for the first time.

In an environment where glass is primarily valued for its historical significance, the skill of the hand, and the complexity of execution, contemporary artists are forging new ways to expand its boundaries beyond traditional roles. By approaching glass as both a sculptural medium and a conceptual entity, and manipulating it in diverse, often unexpected ways, these artists explore how glass can gain and retain meaning.
Central to this exploration is the representation of the human body, with its forms, textures, and gestures, alongside the powerful rhythms and patterns of nature. Although divergent in content, themes, and intentions, the works on view invite us to mentally participate in the translation of abstract ideas into tangible forms, and vice versa. Ranging from figurative to abstract and from narrative to conceptual, the contemporary works balance strength and vulnerability, craftsmanship and poetic expression, introducing us into a realm of forms and metaphors in the unique language of glass.
