Bert Frijns - Uniek Glas kunstobject

Very exceptional and unique large glass object created by Bert Frijns; six pieces for Hondsrug College in Emmen in 1996 have been integrated into the façade. He made one additional piece with chrome, never used. An impressive piece now in my possession. For indoors or outdoors.

Glass artist Bert Frijns (1953, NL) studied from 1973 to 1980 at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, in both the glass and sculpture departments. Glass, water, light and movement are the key elements in Bert Frijns's work. The glass forms look simple, but the process to arrive at these shapes is long and labor-intensive. He works with flat glass panels, which he can process into an object in various forms with a self-developed technique. Through the material, clarity and reflection, the glass sculptures interact with their surroundings. And when the glass sculptures are filled with water, this interplay is further enhanced by light and movement into a captivating, almost meditative result.
