ArtistBen Youngis back with a new series of glass and concrete sculptures inspired by the ocean.
For nearly two decades, the New Zealand-based sculptor has been perfecting his craft.
His handcrafted glass sculptures have the perfect balance between light and dark, mimicking how ocean waves filter sunlight.
Some of Young’s pieces were on display in Auckland at the Aotearoa Art Fair.
Of the pieces in the fair, several play with negative and positive space.
Each displays the technical excellence that is a signature of Young’s art.
His entry for the exhibition shows an exciting new direction for his artwork.
The experimental new work, titledInfinite Sea, is made from laminated float glass and mirror.
The circular form is illuminated by LED lights, which causes the ocean waves to reflect in the mirror.
