Carlo Scarpa is widely recognized one of the most important architects and glass makers of the twentieth century. He was born in Venezia, Italy in 1906.  His first projects spanned the years 1922-1924, when he collaborated with the architect V. Rinaldo.  Scarpa then attended the Royal Academy of Fine Art in Venice, and acquired his diploma of Professor in Architectural Drawing in 1926.

Once he obtained his degree, Scarpa began a career at the Royal Superior Institute of Architecture of Venice.  He began as the assistant to Professor G. Cirilli, and eventually began teaching at Venice’s Istituto Universitario di Architettura.  He remained a part of the faculty at Venice’s Istituto Universitario di Architettura until 1976, and served as director from 1972 to 1974.

While architecture was Scarpa’s main focus, he was also very interested in glass making.  During the 1920s, Scarpa created his first pieces while working for Cappelin.   He later became the artistic director of Venini from 1933 to 1947.  Venini was one of the most important Venetian glass makers during this time, and Scarpa’s natural understanding of raw materials allowed him to flourish as artistic director.  Scarpa sculpted with glass to create objets d’art and lamps, and brought a theatrical element to his designs.  He was influenced by the environment, as well as the Orient, and applied these influences to his designs.  He also invented a variety of techniques that became trademarks of Venini glass during the thirties and forties.  These techniques include filigrana, velato, opalini, lattimi, murrine, sommersi, and battutto.

Many of the techniques that he pioneered were very difficult technically, which is one of the reasons that they command high prices. Working with glass of different colors is difficult, as each color has its own co-efficient of expansion, and reacts to heat differently.  The battutto, in which the surface is hand-worked to create a “hammered” texture, was difficult, as the pattern had to be carefully controlled, and the pressure could easily cause a piece to break. This was an important technique that Scarpa pioneered in 1940.  Filigrana, another important technique, involves spiraling very thin strands of glass onto an already blown form – the strands had to be perfectly spaced.

The murrine technique is a very ancient one, and involved first forming the “murrines” -rods containing different colors of glass in specific colors into a specific pattern, which could be flowers, faces, or the abstract geometric motifs that Scarpa favored. These rods were then cut into thin sections. Melding these slices seamlessly was challenging, as was  forming the actual piece. The extreme thinness of his pieces made the work even more difficult technically. Usually, the finished pieces were given a very fine battutto finish. This process of blowing glass to extreme thinness was called soffiati. His murrine pieces are, perhaps, his most important achievement.  When translucent glass was used, the effect is like a stained-glass window. When opaque glass, sometimes referred to as pasta vitreo was used, the resulting pieces look as if carved from some kind of magical wood.

Another important and difficult technique used by Scarpa was tessuto, in which very thin canes of glass of different colors were fused, and then the vase was blown very thin. The rods had to form perfect vertical lines – any pieces that were not perfect were discarded. Sometimes, the surface was left shiny, and for some pieces, it was subjected to battutto for added texture, and a matte finish.

Another important style of glass introduced by Scarpa was the corroso series. These pieces were of very thick and heavy glass, known as pesanti, in which various knobs, swirls and other elements of form were pulled directly from the hot glass, and then the piece was treated with acid to give it a “corroded” finish. A similar technique was used for the sommerso vases, which differed from the corroso by having two layers of differently colored glass.

Scarpa also designed glass with very simple forms, known as Cinese, as they were influenced by the shapes of Chinese ceramics. These pieces were richly colored, and had a shiny finish, almost like glazed ceramic. Occasionally, he would give these pieces a very fine battutto finish, resulting in a velvety surface known as velato.

After Scarpa left his position as artistic director of Venini, he began his career as an architect.  Beginning with his design of a Paul Klee exhibition in 1948, Scarpa became associated with the Venice Biennale. Scarpa’s unique ability to transform spaces made him a master of exhibition design.  He had an instinctive understanding of works of art, and used innovative materials, lighting effects, and chromatic relationships to create spaces that had never been constructed before.

Joe Rich is a Toronto based artist. Working in acrylic, ink, spray paint and a variety of mediums Joe primarily paints on canvas and wood. Joe has studied art for the past 18 years and his work has shown in a variety of settings and galleries including the McMichael Gallery and two one person shows. Committed to ongoing education Joe has studied in various settings and institutions, experimenting and painting in a variety of genres - but somehow always returning to nature as a subject matter. Bold. Expressive. Works for the viewer to explore.


ARTIST’S STATEMENT


I see my work as a collaboration between the viewer, the canvas and myself. Within this triad I often see some remarkable and exceptional exchanges take place. I see the art of painting as a behaviour, designed to express feeling and thoughts. I measure each work upon completion with what are best described as the underpinnings of a well executed work and - if satisfied with the outcome - let go of the work for others to contemplate, enjoy and I imagine accept or reject.

Alvino Bagni (1919 - 2009) was a renowned Italian ceramist who played an important role in the development of modern ceramics. He was born in Lastra a Signa, Italy, in 1919, a region known for its ceramics industry. From a young age, he showed an interest in ceramics.

Bagni started his career in ceramics by working in the workshop of Arnaldo Pugi&#39;s ceramics factory in Ponte a Signa. After the Second World War, Pugi provided Bagni with financial support to open his own workshop. And so, the story of Ceramiche Bagni began.

The fifties and sixties were important years for Bagni, during which he established privileged relationships with several important names in American design and business, including Raymor (N.Y.) and Rosenthal.

In 1970, the company moved to a larger, more modern factory, where Bagni surrounded himself with highly-skilled collaborators and artists.
By 1980, the factory had as many as 100 employees, and Bagni&#39;s company was renowned for its elegant objects and use of innovative techniques, but it finally closed in 1990.

However, Bagni wasn&#39;t finished yet. In 1993, he started a new venture called Nuove Forme, which continued his work in ceramics until he retired eight years later for health reasons. Alvino Bagni passed away in 2009 at the age of 90, leaving behind a legacy of creativity, passion, and technical skill. Alvino Bagni&#39;s career was a fascinating journey that spanned several decades. He was a master ceramist who played a vital role in the development of modern ceramics.

The Noah&#39;s Ark Centerpiece takes its inspiration from the narrative of Noah&#39;s Ark and the survival of man and animal after the great flood. Drawing profoundly from Aram&#39;s background as an Armenian American, this piece celebrates the potent story of the ark landing on Mt. Ararat.

&#34;There is so much power in the story of Noah&#39;s Ark resting on Mount Ararat in historic Armenia. All great monotheistic religions accept the ark as symbolic of mankind&#39;s salvation. I wanted to represent it for everyone!&#34;
