AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An hypnotic, rhythmic interplay of deep black and milky white glass, captured in a statuesque silhouette that reinterprets mid-century Venetian codes through an 1980s studio lens. The handblown body acts as a canvas for undulating, feathered pulls, where the graphic contrast shifts from intense density at the neck to a soft, suspended movement near the opalescent base.
Incised to the base with the artist's full signature "Alphonse Gilbert" and dated 1984, this autographed piece stands as an authentic, highly technical testament to late 20th-century independent studio glassmaking. Its striking optical presence and monochrome discipline make it an exceptional statement object for contemporary, art-led interiors.
