Lot description
Using his favorite technique, Rob Wynne demonstrates his keen sense of expression with this delicate poured glass work 'Teardrop'. Here, Wynne captures the sensation of flowing liquid and the density of a drop through the clear glass, transforming the simple teardrop shape into an expressive symbol of sadness and emotion.

Best known for his mirrored glass works, typically expressing a word or appropriated phrase, Rob Wynne (b.1950) has experimented with different materials, techniques, and points of view to create unique visual expressions that appear both insightful and kitsch. Over his career, Wynne has explored other mediums including photography, painting, and embroidery to articulate his decorative, poetic, and surrealist visions. Born and raised in the New York, NY, Wynne studied art at New York’s Pratt Institute. His work has been widely exhibited throughout the world and has been the subject of recent solo shows at JGM Galerie, Paris, France (2012); Locks Gallery, Philadelphia, PA (2011); Rebecca Ibel, Palm Beach, FL (2009); Dust Gallery, Las Vegas, NV (2007); and Galerie Oliver Schweden, Munich, Germany (2004).
