    That "Golden Dusk" round piece is like he took a Gustav Klimt painting and turned its soul into a glass sculpture. It's so beautiful.

      Klimt gave the color, but the design was ripped from russian-jewish avangard, like "Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge" by El Lissitzky. You've seen his "brushes". With all respect to his beautiful works he is a craftsman with great will to do beatiful things, but never an artist.

      It is important to note they both use a "cold form" technique whereas 99% of all other glassartists use a "hot form" technique. So it's rather strange to compare how they differ while they are two artists who both do something radically opposite compared to their fellow glass manipulators.

    And i say for Billie Hansen...For sure,my friend it's more really beautiful than any JEWELS in the world,absolutely.And I know the world of precious or fine stones, I collect minerals.Here we play in three dimensions and we cross the material through transparency and play of light that reflects, bounce, associate, diverge, cancel each other out, rebuild themselves, change in the very heart of this noble material that the artist has magnified with all his talent. An exhibition of these inspired and ingenious artists of glass or crystal would make any audience dream about the planet by offering them another dimension of this visual and conceptual art generated by the spectrum of decomposed light and the fascinating colors engendered which mesmerize our gaze. It is a drug for our eyes and our creative imagination in search of absolute. These works are of a timeless beauty and indisputable.Bravo for these great artists of our time and tomorrow.
