SUMMARY:Granite Calimpong at Traver Gallery ♿
DESCRIPTION:Granite Calimpong affirms his versatility as a sculptor\, skilled in various media such as glass\, ceramics\, wood\, metal\, light\, and photography. His emphasis on material exploration gives vivid and innovative expression to the unique qualities of each of his chosen materials.  \nDick Weiss at Traver Gallery. Known for his formal explorations of color\, light\, and abstraction in leaded glass\, Weiss winds a lively color palette and joyful juxtapositions of forms into this newest body of work. His unique use of negative space and clear glass invites architectural and natural surroundings to become an active and changing part of his compositions. Likewise\, Weiss draws inspiration from such environments\, referencing bending trees\, stacked stone walls\, and rocky tidal beaches in his vivid glass compositions. \nArtist Bio: Granite Calimpong received a BFA in Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts and Music from UCSD in 2007 and completed his MFA in Sculpture at the University of Washington in 2019. While a graduate student at UW he explored perception and various visual phenomena associated with illusions through the use of wood\, clay\, glass\, photography\, and metal. During the decade before attending the UW\, Calimpong worked predominantly in glass\, maintaining his own studio practice\, assisting various renowned glass artists in the Seattle area\, and working as a fabricator helping several non-glass artists realize their ideas in the medium.   \nDick Weiss was born in Everett\, Washington\, and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale University. He began teaching at Pilchuck Glass School in 1982\, and has completed commissions for the Bellevue Art Museum\, Washington\, the Port of Shanghai\, Shanghai\, China\, the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport\, Washington\, and the University of Washington\, Seattle. His work can be found in impressive collections around the world\, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Corning Museum of Glass in New York.
