This is an art glass piece of exceptional and compelling presence. Luminous and celestial in presentation, the lineage of the maker combines strongly with the singular voice of Ola Hoglund in this gorgeous paperweight sculpture. The clarity of the blown crystal holds its spare yet complex inclusions with transformative presence. The pulled cane ribbons and controlled bubbles within are as a diagram of galactic orbit unto themselves. Ola Höglund was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1956, into a family of artists where glass and design were an important part of life. It seemed almost inevitable that Ola would become involved in glass. His mother Maerit was an independent ceramic artist. His father Erik, was an artist who at the early age of 21 as a glass designer, revolutionised the art of glass in Sweden and for a large part of the Swedish public, the name Höglund became synonymous with modern Swedish glass. As a master glass artist of his own destiny, Ola Hoglund has centered his work & life with his partner, Marie Simberg-Hoglund in NZ, where this impeccable piece was blown. It’s a beauty..
