Ramon Orlina's mastery over the medium of glass is undisputed; the prolific nature of his output over the last few decades has earned him a reputation for being one of the country’s most renowned contemporary artists. This glass sculpture dated 2000 bears the trademarks found in many of Orlina's earlier works; a relentlessly angular structure, crystalline, staunch yet seemingly carved out of light. Within its tantalizing depths, one can clearly observe the artist’s mastery in how the reflection and refraction of light draws the eye to the sculpture’s glistening hues. The complexity of the work at hand is a visual marvel, utilizing sharp edges to seemingly warp the air surrounding it and inviting the viewer into the bends and folds of Orlina’s signature green glass.
