Jonas Noël Niedermann. Chromagnetic

Galleria Abscondita presents the exhibition "CHROMAGNETIC", at Via della Scrofa 114, Rome. The exhibition presents the work of contemporary glass artist Jonas Noël Niedermann, a new-generation glassmaster whose creations are distinguished by organic forms and striking chromatic impact.

A blown glass body acting as an attractor, and a series of glass applications that solidify on its surface in anthozoan forms: Niedermann's works are ideal explorations and material abstractions of the underwater life of a cosmic sea – asymmetrical and organic by nature, distant from the rigid geometries of design, yet close to the physiology of matter and the material essence of glass.

The creative process begins with the blowing of a central colored glass body (opaque or transparent), onto which multiple layers of different colors are applied. These fuse with each other and with the core itself, creating ever-changing landscapes and constellations.

Glass ferrofluids, symbiotic and magmatic concretions, magnetic interactions of forms and colors – the works of Jonas Noël Niedermann renew tradition and transcend the conventions of blown artistic glass, exploring its boundaries and extreme potential through the aesthetic development of the vase-sculpture surface as a space for experimentation and expression

Curated by Gabriele Frasca, the show continues the gallery's exploration of contemporary glass, expanding its perspective to the broader European art scene.

Jonas Noël Niedermann (St. Gallen, Switzerland, 1990) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. He began working with glass at the age of fourteen, when he started his first internship at the Glasfachschule in Zwiesel, Germany, where he learned from the Bavarian masters. At sixteen, he became an apprentice glassblower before going on to work in studios in Italy, Germany, Austria, Denmark, and the United States.... read the rest of the article»
