'Tupi' Vase in clear glass

A large 'Tupi' vase in clear glass, created by Sem Schanzer in the 1990s as part of the artists's collective, l'Anverre.

L’Anverre is known for its playful and vivacious style, which can be seen in the dynamic movement of the vase. The vase is made of hand-blown glass. The bullicante technique was used to create a pattern of enclosed air bubbles, adding to its dynamic appearance.

Sem Schanzer, a self taught artist, was active in several fields, from sculptures and glassware to installations. He remains unattached to a specific artistic movement. This versatility is to be seen in his many art works. In 1986, he founded the artists' collective l'Anverre, an interdisciplinary group established in Antwerp. As the driving force behind the group, he is also called Sem de l'Anverre. The collective shares an artistic and philosophical idea, striving to create deeper meaning in a time where technology and science seem to bring us further away from our direct reality. United by nature and their commitment to culture and gender diversity, the collective has achieved international recognition.

The vase has been signed.
