Research On The Form Language Of Copper In Contemporary Glass Art

The development of glass art is accompanied by the two aspects of innovation,which is aesthetics and technology.It presents two connotations: spiritual and material.It can be said that the history of glass art development is the history of glass material technology development.And in this period of history,how to combine glass materials with other materials is an unavoidable proposition for glass practitioners.However,since the features of glass,materials that can be combined with it are rare.Among them,the expansion coefficient of copper is close to that of glass,and the combination of the two is more feasible than other materials at the technical level.And there are many contemporary glass artists who combine these two materials for creation.Through the research on these artists,it is found that their relevance lies in the fact that they all use the crystal feature of glass and the ancient and simple feature of copper to form a sharp contrast.Combining the two through different processes,the glass reveals light and air,and the heaviness of copper complements the feeling of heaviness and richer texture,resulting in a captivating hybrid aesthetic.The simple and complex form is not only full of modernity,but also precipitates the ancient culture.The combination of the past and the present achieves a unique balance in an art form which brings unusual artistic effects.This paper conducts a systematic study on the form language of the combination of glass and copper materials,focusing on the material properties,form characteristics and uniqueness,exploring their form languages,aiming to explore the form laws and unique aesthetics of the combination of these two materials,and providing new form possibilities for contemporary glass art.Exploring different forming processes between glass and copper,we found that they relying on each other,influencing each other,and together,they constituted the emotional experience and psychological feelings presented by glass in glass casting,blowing,cold processing and other forming processes.
