Luke Jacomb is an outstanding glass artist whose reputation is quickly gathering momentum in New Zealand due to his innovative and superb technical glassmaking skills as well as successes stemming from his recent international touring exhibition and residencies in the United States.
Possessing a strong sculptural sense and devotion to his field and vision, Jacomb combines elements of traditional Maori and Polynesian motifs with sleek design and intricate Venetian glasswork techniques (reticello, murrine, incalmo and retorti) in a distinctive and coherently synthesised aesthetic involving the use of cast and blown glass. |
Luke's reputation is firmly established in the United States and is represented in significant private and public collections, including the Ebeltoff Glass Museum (Denmark), Corning Museum of Glass (New York, USA) and the New Orleans Museum of Art (Louisiana, USA). |
