Inspiration ~ From Famous Painting to Modern Furniture


I guess glass artists aren't the only ones who look to famous paintings for inspiration.

This is a chair which was inspired by Rene Francois- Ghislain Magritte's "Son of Man" painting, (below), was designed by Chilean architect, Roberto Sebastian Matta.

I love both the painting and the chair and now want to do a bead that relates to this painting too.  It's just a question of what elements from the painting do I want to use?  Should it be sculptural or not and what do I want to change?

This will be on my list for "when I've got some spare studio time" later this week.  I'll show you when it's done.  

What do you think?

  4. The painting and the chair inspired by it are both very cool, but I have to wonder about that apple stem on the chair-- yee-ouch. The colors in the chair are incredibly luscious, though, and I think that is what is going to come into play when you experiment at the torch this week...just a feeling I got :)
