Patricia et Jean-Claude YANN, Artistes-Verriers



Patricia born in Gaboon, - Jean-Claude born in France, .

Patricia and Jean-Claude have been designing Glass sculptures and decorative items for more than twenty years. Always in search of novelty and originality, they experienced a wide variety of glass techniques such as "sagging", fusing, "pate de verre", etc...

Both artists chose to express themselves with Glass since it is such a strong emotionnal and creative source of insperation. They value Glass as an organice material but most of all as an invitation to an endless and magic journey into their imagination.

By observing the work of the two artists, anyone can enter a world of dream and poetry where every contradiction of the material in enhanced : liquid/sold, transperance/opalescence, reality/virtuality. It allows viewers to discover the process of a collective work which necessarily creates a permanent and multual complicity as well as an unlimited emulation.

Living ans working in the south of France in the Provence region, Patricia & Jean-CLaude have been recognized as leading Glass Masters in France. Exhibits of their work have been regulary held around the world form art galeries to major internal fairs.

For the past few years Patricia and Jean-Claude have focused their research on the insertion of precious metal sheets into glass. Being the first ones in the world to master that new technique, they now offer viewers and collectors unique pieces combining gold, platinum, silver and Glass. In designing those precious pieces they seek ultimately pure and refine form.
