Isabelle SCHELTJENS New Artist @ Canfin Gallery
We are very excited to represent Isabelle SCHELTJENS. We could not wait to receive her art, so unique and stunning.
It took Isabelle Scheltjens two years of intense practicing and juxtaposing countless pieces of colored glass to refine her method and truly master the color theory. She developed a unique glass-fusing technique, whereby pieces of glass in different colors, sizes and textures are melted together at approximately 800°C. The colorful pieces of glass are like the dots of paint used by the pointillists: forming an abstract image up close, yet a dramatic and precise portrait from a distance.
Isabelle achieves striking optical effects with her technique: she captures the dance of light and color in a way that a photograph transforms it into a black & white or sometimes a colorful portrait – the fascinating result of a process that relies on the perceptive ability of the viewer’s eye and mind.
