Venice By Night

The twenty-five glass pieces shown here were inspired by Venice – a place that has long been a crucible for artists. Unusually, however, the pieces in this series were all made in response to Venice as seen by night.

Ranging from sunset to dawn, they form a vividly colourful and evocative sequence of nocturnal images. Many incorporate the gold and silver leaf that are still being hand-beaten in Venice.

Interleaved between these illustrations is a series of twelve short essays which articulate some of the artist’s experiences in La Serenissima – a city where, over the last five decades, Gregory has spent a good portion of his life.

Gregory Warren Wilson was a classical violinist. He has published six collections of poetry, and a book of fables. His visual art is represented by the Joanna Bird Gallery.
