STEPHEN ROLFE POWELL
The works by Stephen Powell that we are all familiar with have always been over
the top blown glass creations that are a sly mix of humor and slight of hand virtuosity.
With their suggestive figurative features and impossibly ambitious scale
these works were Stephen’s signature creations. The acclaim these works received
was truly deserved. Powell’s consummate skills as an artist and craftsman have
been acknowledged.
Now challenged to create something fresh for a new audience Powell has returned
to a far smaller form, more intimate in scale but even more intense in his use of
color. These new works are varied in shape, more so than at any point in his career
but they remain absolutely signature work, ranking with his best efforts.
I am personally thrilled to be able to present this exhibition of Stephen Powell’s
latest work and publish this catalogue documenting the show.
