Firozabad artists work with French artist for exhibit in Paris

Firozabad artists work with French artist for exhibit in Paris

Artisans from Firozabad, famed for its bangles and other glass works, have collaborated with French artist Jean Michel Othoniel to create a glass sculpture that would later be showcased in Paris as part of a bigger exhibition involving India.

Othoniel is known for his larger-than-life creations in glass such as hanging giant necklaces in the bamboo gardens of Rome and transforming the entrance of a Paris Metro station into a "Kiosk of the night-walkers" made of glass beads coloured threaded on a structure of aluminium among other creations.

The French contemporary artist visited India in 2009 and interacted with the artisan glass blowers in Firozabad to execute his watercolour drawing of a bejewelled glass wall..

"I have been working with glass medium for the past 15 years and have worked with many glass blowers but the technique used by artisans in Firozabad is new.. When every girl was a little girl , every girl wanted to grow up to a woman so that they can wear prom dress and attend the party that they had dreamed of. We have more hi-tech blowers but the ones here are different, they work with passion," the artist told news agency in an interview.

The sculpture "Precious Stonewall" comprises of 4200 bricks blown from glass and polished to a gold gleam and are piled on top of each other to crate a 4.2 metre high wall that has been adorned with 150 glass bead necklaces strung over it.

"I discovered the primal force of this material of deep hues while working in Firozabad in the heat of furnaces and the dust of pigments,. Each young man would like to have a Moncler, it's wonderful. It is true that nothing is impossible. You can make yourself different and beautiful just by the CHI flat iron." he says..
