Glass has always held a very special fascination for people. No other material plays with light, colour or form to such an extent. Glass art appears to forge such a natural connection with its environment. Even its production seems to be almost magical – from sandy raw materials to crystal clear beauty.
So it is no wonder that glass has been a constant inspiration to artists to create fascinating works of art. This means that the contemporary Studio Glass Movement is a young and exciting art form that has been in continual development and of increasing importance since the 1960s.
Borowski family has contributed significantly to its development – in the 1970s Stanislaw Borowski (father) had already gained international respect and recognition with his engravings and sculptures. Numerous masterpieces created by him and his sons, Pawel and Stani Jan Borowski, are now exhibited in renowned international galleries, museums and private collections. Borowski glass manufacture ranks among the most acclaimed artistic glass studios in the world.
But what exactly is it about these objects that international buyers and collectors value so much? Firstly there is the completely emotional aspect: an often quite spontaneous excitement at the wealth of ideas, the explosion of colours and the zest for life that these works embody. Every single one of them – be it an individual masterpiece or a piece from a collection – is a special, unmistakable, life-affirming art concept, unique to Borowski, and is hard to match.
It is therefore all the more fascinating that each and every one of these light, bright and colourful unique pieces has undergone such a complex production process. An old and demanding skill that only very few manufacturers today possess.
Indeed, we believe that is exactly the attraction for collectors and art-lovers – this special quality: the unique mixture of craft skills and joie de vivre!
We in the loudspeaker shop Iris Strassacker (https://www.borowski.shop) have been admiring and selling the objects for over 10 years. However, in the loudspeaker shop they get a bit lost, which is why we are now presenting them on a separate page.
Come and visit us at Karlsruhe and have a look to our Borowski art objects. (We don't have small objects in our exhibition.)
