The glass artist is at it again with a woman figure!

I have posted some of his stunning works before and you simply have to visit his website at the link on this post. Louis Chanu is the artist and he also works with bronze.

She looked in a deep meditation state here!

Beautiful colors in the figure above!

This lady holds an arc of live butterflies!

Simply because the sculpture is called "Mother Nature"!

And look at the intricate artwork on the back of "Mother Nature!

This silver one above is new and I couldn't find a title for it!

But I like the clear and intricate designs!

Finished off with a butterfly on her back!

The sculptures are all displayed at the Lourensford Wine Estate in the Western Cape Province of South Africa.
There is a large food market on the estate where fresh and hot international foods are offered to the public.
Live music and locally brewed lager and famous wines are also on offer.

Here is a link to the artist's website:

I really like these sculptures! The first one is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you milady!
Best news is that I am seeing the artist on Thursday and he is in the process of moving his studio here to our town, as he wants to be closer to the beach. He made a video here on the beach featuring one of his full size glass sculptures with the sea and the sunset as a background and it looks fantastic.
I have the video and will post it soon!

Oh that's great news!

Wow, such incredible sculptures! That's amazing! 🤗

Thank you kindly and I like this guy's work Sir!

What a beautiful glass sculpture, amazing. I never saw these types of sculptures made of glass, this is the first time I am seeing it. I have seen many crystals and decorative pieces of the human body but not like this one.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Glad that you liked it my friend. There is a website link on the post that you just have to look at. All of his other works are on that website and you will be amazed.

My pleasure to share and hope that you will have a good new week!

These sculptures look great Zac, especially the glass lady is looking so cool, almost like ice 😁

Thank you Hannes,

Yes, he uses a "glass epoxy resin" and the statues are baked in a high degree oven. It forms beautiful big bubbles inside the statues and of course they are all totally sunlight and hail resistant.

I hope that you clicked on the link to his website?

Cheers and thanks!

I haven't clicked the link yet, but I'll do it later. That's a great idea - the statues look like ice sculptures which we can see sometimes in the cities. They look great too, but they don't last very long 😉

Now that's the trick Hannes,
The statues will last for many years as they are made with a new "glass epoxy compound". The trick is in the oven bake, as they could only bake at low temperatures before, but this guy has developed a system that can bake at very high temperatures.

He told me that they even sent two representatives from the compound manufacturers in France here to come and see how he does it.
The higher temp that they are baked at the more resistant they become, almost like stainless steel.

Cheers and thanks!

So he's not only an artist but also a great inventor, that's cool 😃

It's time for me after a long day - wish you good night my friend 😊

Yeah, I think that he has a scientist background, but will know more on Thursday. Fortunately I have worked with epoxy resins before.

May you have a good rest Hannes! Good Night to you guys!

Cheers and thanks!

I think there will be a few interesting following posts to this one coming up 😀
