The thrill
of combining colors in light,
the delight of unexpected designs and discovering new forms that
glass can take, all
make artist Bryan Northup's obsession with glass a pleasure to
behold and collect.
Bryan
is dedicated to continual experimentation in his studio,
working with fused glass, stained glass and mosaic techniques,
he mixes and combines all three to create functional glass artwork
that is unexpected, fresh and beautiful.
After
earning his Bachelor of Fine Art
from California College of the Arts
Bryan worked closely with influential artists and jewelry designers,
assisting with design, production and marketing of fine art jewelry.
During this time, he first saw dichroic glass. The glinting colors
suspended within liquid-like drops of glass hypnotized him.
Like glowing luminescent jellyfish pulsing through the deep sea,
this bioluminescent vision inspired Bryan's ever evolving line
of dichroic glass jewelry and his ongoing journey and dedication
to glass.
His studio
name biolum has come to represent the techniques,
intuition and design style that Bryan has developed
throughout out his journey with glass, making his vision and artwork
glow.
