Lozano Glassworks Today's Art, Tomorrow's Antiques
Danny Lozano began flame working glass in 2001 in the heart of the valley located in beautiful Corvallis, Oregon. A primarily self taught artist, his medium in glass requires the use of compressed gases to manipulate the material with the use of an industrial torch fueled by propane and oxygen. With the majority of the work done in front of a torch all the pieces are put together solely by the artist without the use of any molds, pre-drawn images or assistance.
Lozano Glass incorporates some of the most contemporary techniques known to the world of borosilicate glass such as fuming with precious metals, switchback montages, and writing characters in glass. You can also find classical Italian techniques such as lattichino, incalmo, and reticellos to his array of glass art. With these techniques he begins with a base material usually of the Pyrex or Simax brand. Piece by piece a project is started. Blending passion, technique, and guided by a balance of color sometimes rich with excitement or subdued in an earth tone tranquility, a piece is started.
The excitement of his art not only resides in the finished piece, but also in the infancy of the material being worked. This particular type of glass (chemical composition) is less than a century old while other glass compositions have been around for thousands of years. Colors, techniques and innovations in borosilicate glass are in the midst of a renaissance . There is a revolution in ideas and techniques occurring in this particular field of glassblowing that has the community excited for its future. As a member of this movement, Danny would like to thank you for taking a moment of your time to view and explore his work.
