Collection Exhibition: Nature in Glass
In this edition of the collection exhibition, we present newly acquired works by artists with an interest in the relationship between nature and people that are divided into three themes. As Toyama borders Toyama Bay on the Japan Sea to the north and boasts a commanding view of Chubu-Sangaku National Park, which extends across the Tateyama Mountain Range and the Northern Alps, local residents are treated to magnificent landscapes and beautiful scenery on a daily basis. Glass artists from a variety of cultures and backgrounds also derive inspiration from a host of familiar natural elements, including the shapes of plants and animals in their surroundings, sights produced by light, heat, and wind power, and the rich blessings of the sea and fields. Although each artist’s interpretation and creative approach may differ, their gaze is constantly trained on the workings of the Earth, and their thoughts are closely attuned to nature. As we encounter these different perspectives on nature in the artists’ works, we may find ourselves considering the surrounding environment and reexamining our own relationship with nature.
