Huge Martin Blank Art Glass Torso Sculpture

Prepare for your breath to be taken away with this incredible fused glass sculpture by Martin Blank. A twisting torso captures life-giving force and human beauty like you’ve never seen. The deconstructed torso form of this piece has a geologic quality, a crystalline body that bounces light throughout strata of luminous fused glass and silver leaf. From the inside, the sculpture seems to glow with a transparent green light achieved through careful and deliberate use of silver leaf infused deep within the sculpture. Martin Blank’s glass art vibrates with a life-giving force, an aspect that reflects the man himself. Blank says great art should be like an incredible piece of music, its tone should touch you, its waves should resonate within you, and merely through your senses you should be able to perceive what the artist is trying to communicate. For Blank, the message is one of wonderment and enthusiasm, of reflecting on the natural world and engaging in an immersive experience. Blank’s glass is done with incredible thoughtfulness and intellectual rigor, inseparable from his ceaseless curiosity and constant absorption of new information. But it is also done with total spontaneity, joy, and lack of inhibition, all of which is palpable to the viewer. There is a great video that shows the process of making a piece such as this that has almost 7 million views! The sculpture in the video is remarkably similar to this one. It’s even the same color! The video is on YouTube and is called “glass artist Martin Blank and team create a human torso with silver”. Check it out! Sculpture is in excellent condition with no chips, scratches, or other signs of wear. Measures a little over 2 feet tall. Large and very heavy, this is a statement piece that will stand out in any space. Signed on the bottom.
