Since 1980 Bruce Pizzichillo and Dari Gordon have been redefining the look of contemporary blown glass. Inspired by nature, they use rich, romantic colors in both opaque and transparent glass. Their innovative designs, patterns and shapes create a complementary whole, a powerful artistic statement which has been featured in numerous publications. Their ongoing stylistic evolution are sought after by collectors and galleries throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.
Originally from
Red Bank,
New Jersey, Pizzichillo earned his B.F.A. at the
California College of Arts and Craftsd Crafts. Gordon, of
Boston, received her B.F.A. at the
Tyler School of Art in
Philadelphia. Their studio is located in
Oakland,
California.
As a team they developed new glass-blowing techniques by combining traditional
Venetian glass with modern methods. Each piece is a signed original. To own a Pizzichillo-Gordon vase, bowl or sculpture is to have a masterfully executed, authentic work of art that will find its place among your most treasured possessions.
I feel fortunate to have acquired this beautiful sample of their artistic endeavors when Tom White & Bruce were showing in the same exhibition, Magnificent (link below), at the Gray Loft Gallery in 2018.
Bruce talks about his work, Wind Whisper, in a video on YouTube (link below) and his wife, Dari Gordon, appears in it as well.
