World Renowned Artist, Ulla Darni, To Exhibit At Pismo Gallery
If you like glass art (not the drinking kind), your best bet is Pismo Gallery from August 2 until September 30. Meet Ulla Darni. Her work is known around the world, starting in Denmark, where she is from...
PISMO Gallery at Aspen, Aspen’s foremost gallery for glass art, will present a solo exhibition of new works by world renowned artist Ulla Darni. The show opens with an artist reception on August 2, 2008 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm and the exhibition will continue through September 30, 2008.
Ms. Darni, who is well known for her exquisite reverse, hand-painted chandeliers, has added painted glass wall panels to her list of accomplishments. Her new paintings are lit from behind making them come alive with her bright, bold colors and designs. This new series is comprised of original paintings, “light studies” in editions of 20, and prints in editions of 50.
A native of Denmark, Ms. Darni has led a fascinating life. Her studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Art in Copenhagen led to a seven year position as a designer for Royal Copenhagen Porcelain, an experience which allowed her to develop her painting skills. From there, she went on to work in film and theater in Denmark before moving to New York City where she became a clothing designer and operated boutiques in Manhattan. From the city, she moved to upstate New York where she sold antiques prior to starting her current, successful line of reverse, hand-painted lighting.
Ms. Darni’s flair for the dramatic is reflected in her very expressive work. She says, “When I sit at my table
in front of a blank shade or my lighted easel, all thoughts leave me. With no sense of time or place, I just begin to paint. Often I am the one most surprised when I see the finished glass. I feel that I have given myself to a greater power. I really did not do the painting, but instead allowed my higher consciousness to flow.”
