Collection Exhibition 2019-Ⅱ

Toyama Glass Art Museum mainly exhibits and collects domestic and foreign contemporary glass works produced since the 1950s. “Collection Exhibition 2019-II” displays 18 works from the museum collection based on the theme of “expression.”

Expression refers to facial expressions and gestures related to one’s emotions, or broadly speaking, the state of things and atmosphere.

Shown in this exhibition are various states of glass in relation to the specific characteristics of the material, such as the movement of glass when it is heated, melts and falls, with overlapping colors generated by optical reflections and transmissions, and reflections of the surrounding scenery changing in every second on the glass surface. Also introduced are works showing the natural scenery which was impressive for the artists as well as hope, anxiety, and conflicts that are latent changes in human emotions.

By focusing on expressions shown in each work, the viewer will become aware of a wide range and possibilities of expressions through glass. Please enjoy rich “expressions” created by glass.
