• About the artwork
  Glass sculpture by Bernard Heesen serves as a vivid manifestation of his signature "baroque" and expressionistic style, where the material’s fluidity is captured in a state of chaotic yet balanced permanence. The object presents as a dense, roughly spherical cluster of fused glass elements, defined by thick, clear loops and viscous "dribbles" that wrap around an intensely colored core. Heesen employs a rich, almost edible-looking color palette, layering deep cobalt blues and maroon-reds beneath a striking, prominent section of yellow-green at the top.
