Harry Arabian "Glass and metal" sculpture December 3-17, 2019 Opening: December 3 from 18.00

From December 3, the Nuance Gallery is pleased to present the Glass and Metal exhibition by sculptor Harry Arabian. The exposition presents sculptures and functional objects that reveal the various properties of glass as a material. His works combine in a unique way applied and refined characteristics. Working with glass, one of the most labor-intensive materials, has many controversies. Glass is difficult to process, malleable. Glass taming technology is complex and requires experience and patience. In stark contrast to their workmanship, the finished works are delicate and ethereal; they do not at all remind us of the hard work in the studio and the heat in front of the furnaces. Harry Arabian is able to subjugate not only glass but also metal. In the combination of ethereal glass and precious metals and semi-precious stones, his works are born. Harry Arabian lives and creates as a true creator - humbly, far from vanity, he casts glass and twists metal structures in his studio in Ichera village, the place is not accidentally chosen, there was a glass factory nearby, and as he says he is "Always thirsty for more and more material." The work of Hari Arabian extends from home objects to a monument commemorating the victims of the Armenian genocide in front of the Surp Hach Temple in Burgas, as well as to the sculpture in the Sea Garden, which is a sign of appreciation to the Bulgarian people in the Armenian community in Burgas. The sculptures you will see in the Nuance Gallery are born of his creative and purely human quest and play with material. They are interpretations of eternal themes and images.

Harry Arabian's cups, carafes, vases and candlesticks are real jewelry for the home, they are  brought by the hands of a person with an indisputable sense of material and the ability to transform everyday objects into functional sculptures.

Harry Arabian graduated from the National Academy of Fine Arts in sculpture in 1992 with Professor Luben Prahov. Works with different materials stone, metal, glass.

His works are owned by the National Gallery of Art, private collections in Bulgaria, Europe, China, America and Canada.
