POSTPONEMENT – Easter Exhibition

Posted on by
1

Due to low accomodation bookings, not-so-great weather forecasts and the possibility of further flooding on the Sunshine Coast, we have decided to postpone Lucas’ much anticipated Final Exhibition.  We feel that as it will be the last occasion to view Lucas’ stunning work in an exhibition format we’d rather give our Clients, Collectors and Supporters every opportunity to be a part of this Retrospective and after the inclement weather of the past 3 months – with more to come :-( – we realise that it just mightn’t be possible.

The body of work is ready to go.  The plinths are waiting.  The cataloguing of each new piece is complete.  We’re ready…..  We will be announcing details of the new dates early next week.  In the meantime if you need further information, please contact Lucas Salton Design +61 7 5476 0000.

One of the new pieces below – a solid glass Flame Rock.  480mm height…..

The final glass exhibition – Lucas Salton

As you my be aware, Lucas Salton diversified into mixed medium Public Art Projects roughly 3 years ago.  Lucas is / was a Master Glassblower but due to a fundamental need to expand creatively after 20 years in the craft and a lack of facilities on the Sunshine Coast, Lucas made the leap into Public Art, Design and Design Consultancy.  Very successfully too, might I add.

As Lucas Salton Design continues to thrive designing, fabricating, creating and installing large scale projects, it’s become apparent we need more space – quite a bit more.  We also feel it’s time to ‘let go’ of Lucas’ last remaining glass works with a sense of excitement for future projects and a smidge of sadness at the end of an era.

At some point in the coming 3 months (dates to be confirmed next week) we will be holding an exhibition / retrospective detailing Lucas’ long career as an internationally successful Glass Artist.

This will be an opportunity to view never before seen pieces and selected works from Lucas’ personal collection.  It will also be an opportunity for you to purchase the last Lucas Salton Art Glass pieces.

I will confirm the dates next week.  Please check back to our Promotions page for further details then.

We were recently approached by Artisan (Craft Qld) to provide 10 Artworks as table centrepieces for this years Export Awards event.  Artisan is Qld’s peak organisation for presenting and promoting unique and individual quality crafted design and after a long and wonderful relationship with Artisan, we had no hesitation in supplying the pieces for the night.

 

Images from the Event above, and the Didactic Board from Qld Export Agency below:

 If you’re in Brisbane Artisans retail space - m(art) - is full of divine works and well worth a look and Lucas’ work is also being featured in the lead up to Christmas.

Glass Blowing

We recently discovered, or re-discovered some of the last footage taken of Lucas glass blowing.  It appears to be circa early 2009 or late 2008;  Lucas is being assisted by Greg Royer and Jay Salton and is creating on of the few ‘Spiral Rock’ sculptures ever made.  These solid glass forms were incredibly difficult to make and while this particular example was purchased by a Client in Dubai, we are still lucky enough to have one on display that is part of Lucas’ private collection.

 

The Rock Sculpture being created in the footage above is the black and white in the image below….  The stunning red and white Rock is now part of Lucas’ private collection.

Enjoy!
