"Black Valise"

Art Glass Vessel

Created by Bengt Hokanson and Trefny Dix
This dramatic, opaque glass vessel was inspired by the exotic colors of a sticker-covered suitcase in an airport. The artists create glass tiles, or murrini, arrange them into a bold composition, then roll them onto hot glass and blow the piece into its final form. The blowing process stretches the murrini into a ''painting'' of vibrant color on a field of deep black.

Each piece is unique; pattern and color will vary from that shown.

About this Artist

Bengt Hokanson and Trefny Dix

"Our work is a contrast between the flash of modern life and the serenity of quiet forms."

For ten years, Bengt Hokanson and Trefny Dix have collaborated in creating their original glass art pieces. Their work has been influenced by everything from classic Italian glass blowing to world textiles to urban graffiti. These elements inspire each piece to be about action that is trapped for a moment in time. The simple, organic forms suggest just enough movement to emphasize the drama of their saturated, luminescent colors.

Each piece is painted in glass using a variety of techniques. Layers of hot color and overlays are incorporated, and murrinis and the incalmo process are often included. The artists create depth in each piece by using both transparent and opaque colors, turning each painting into a sculpture.
