Bertil Vallien - Vertical Journey
9 900 SEK
Vertical Journey is one of Bertil Vallien's more detailed craft. The clear glass object is cast with a hand-painted head surrounded by various copper figures that were immersed in the glowing glass mass during the creation process. The craft comes standing on a black wooden base.
Bertil Vallien is a Swedish glass designer and ceramist, a world artist with a long list of achievements. Vallien works primarily in glass and has developed a unique and distinctive style with sculptures in sand-cast glass, often depicting boats and heads. Vallien deals with the existential by filling the works with symbolic messages. His imagery triggers the thinking process in us, the viewer. It becomes a suggestive encounter. Like dreams that want to speak to us. Which possess a presence, which is nevertheless difficult to grasp and interpret.
Vallien is one of the world's foremost glass designers and is represented around the world and has been awarded the "Visionaries Award Museum of Art and Design" in New York, 2001. He was appointed honorary doctor at Växjö University (Linnæus University).

About Gallery Melefors
Johan Melefors, born 1971, founder and CEO of Galleri Melefors, grew up in a family that is the third generation in the auction and antiques industry. Already during his childhood, Johan developed an interest in art and since the early 1990s has collected and traded classic, modern and contemporary art. He started Galleri Melefors in Linköping in 2013 when he moved home from Stockholm to his birthplace of Linköping, which he felt lacked an art store and gallery with a breadth of established collector's art and a well-thought-out and future-oriented contemporary catalog to display.
