"Varm Front" studio glass sculpture, etch-signed on bottom: Robert Phillips, 2012 (?). Size: 6 1/2 x 5 1/2 x 5 in. Robert Phillips’ work distinctly balances color with form and the nature of the material. His pieces explore the elements of transparency and reflection with an attention to detail. Through an extensive combination of hot shaping and sculptural cold working techniques, Phillips is able to illuminate primary aspects of the glass. Phillips’ glass experience began in the studio environment and continued abroad. Starting as a glassblowing assistant in his early twenties, his classical education focused on the fundamentals and techniques of working the material. Phillips evolved his aesthetic working with Scandinavian crystal in Sweden for almost a decade. Robert Phillips works as a free-lance glassblower while making his own creations. He continues to work with glass masters from Italy, Sweden and the United States. His work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in the U.S. and in Europe.
