Dale Chihuly - Electric Yellow and Deep Coral Tower
This year marks the tenth anniversary of London Craft Week in the capital. To mark this anniversary a special sculpture trail has been set up in Belgravia. I'm a great admirer of the work of renowned American glass artist Dale Chihuly, and it was a pleasure to see his works installed amongst the immaculately and expensively manicured environment of the new Chelsea Barracks complex. Chihuly's fantastical glass constructions sit so comfortably in any environment that they inhabit, be it a man-made urban architectural setting like this in Belgravia, or that of a more natural, green environment like his triumphant installations set amongst the plants of Kew Gardens in 2019 (here). This latest exhibition of Chihuly's work is the inaugural exhibition of Modern Masters in partnership with London Craft Week which occurred this week from 13th - 19th May and ends today, although I believe Chihuly's works will remain on display for a longer period. It was a real pleasure to come across them, and it would be great if they could become a permanent feature much like the Chihuly chandelier installed at the Victoria and Albert museum.
