Red Ruby with a Twist of Lime
This Dale Chihuly glass art piece, Red Ruby with a Twist of Lime, is a beautiful piece of planned movement and vibrant color. This is from the Macchia series. Signed by the artist, Dale Chihuly, this brilliant red ruby free-form bowl was created in 2001. It is "museum quality" perfect. Red Ruby with a Twist of Lime measures 9"x12"x12". The thin wall construction gives off tonal qualities when struck lightly with a finger. Light magnifies the beauty of the art as it streams through the glass and blossoms into a full bloom of color.
Chihuly's work is a story of his life. His fascination with abstract nature forms comes from his mother's garden in Tacoma, Washington. Also, his love for the ocean and its creatures is reflected in his work. Over the past forty years, Chihuly’s glass sculptures have explored color, design, and assemblage. Although his work varies in size and color, he is best known for his multipart blown masterpieces. Also interested in Irish culture, he has produced a sizeable volume of "Irish cylinders," which are more modest in conception than his fanciful blown glass works.
Some of Chihuly's works cover whole ceilings of casinos and hotels, while others are mere palm-size abstract flowers. Chihuly uses intense, vibrant colors and linear decoration to bring his work to life; almost all of his works are vibrantly colored. He is also known for using neon and argon. Chihuly is best known for using nature and its surroundings as a setting for his pieces, and for creating his pieces as though they are part of nature. He sometimes entwines his pieces in tree branches and around tree trunks. He also suspends them in space and floats them in water.
