Traver Gallery is pleased to present New Works, a solo exhibition by renowned master glass artist, Dante Marioni.

In this, his 15th solo exhibition at Traver Gallery, Marioni continues to push the limits of the material. Using innovative and complex cane patterns on flawlessly crafted forms, Marioni successfully draws our attention to the optics and elegance of his contemporary glass sculptures. Classically inspired forms, vivid color palette, and extraordinary technical skill make Dante’s work instantly recognizable and intensely unique. For Dante, the art has always been about the act of glassblowing. Throughout the years he has continued to refine his designs and push his skills to the limit. His newest series of Leaf forms exemplify this pursuit, with improbable symmetry and striking cane patterns they balance elegantly at heights of up to three and a half feet. We are thrilled to present this new exhibition and invite you to join us in celebrating Dante’s extraordinary talent and achievement in glass.
