Bruno Romanelli is an established and highly successful artist who has specialised in the technique of lost wax glass casting for over 30 years. A graduate of the Royal College of Art, his journey into glass began by creating figurative glass sculptures often incorporating casts of his own body. In recent years, his work has focussed on abstract and geometric concepts, exploring the fundamental relationships between material in form, light and colour. Symmetry, balance, precision and harmony are underlying themes in the work, as is the control of light and colour through combining the key material qualities of opacity, transparency and translucency. The apparent simplicity of his sculptures belies the complexity of their process and realisation.
