Spazio Nobile Gallery in Brussels presents The Glass Pine: Blowing with Nature, a solo show by the French artist-designer François Azambourg.
As one of the leaders in contemporary French design, François Azambourg is fascinated by the idea of “light as material”. Since 2007, he has enjoyed pushing materials, tools and craft techniques to the limit. He explores the expressive potential of manufacturing processes and the shaping of materials, whether industrial or handmade, innovative or traditional. As part of this process, he has occasionally conducted research into glassmaking techniques in the workshops of the Centre International d'Art Verrier (CIAV) in Meisenthal in Moselle, France. Based on the principle that points of rupture are points of departure, Azambourg has been making epic experiments that liberate him from the deterministic processes of traditional glass production.

About
Spazio Nobile
By opening Spazio Nobile in 2016 in the very lively and cosmopolitan district of place Brugmann in Brussels, Lise Coirier and Gian Giuseppe Simeone have united their passions for creation and art history, initiating a dialogue between contemporary applied arts, design and photography. Without putting boundaries between disciplines, the visual arts interact with the fine arts. By commissioning a collection of unique pieces, limited editions and installations both experimental and artistic, with a sensitivity particular to everything related to nature and minerality, the gallery organizes each year five exhibitions and several events in art and heritage venues (Maison Louis Carré, Yvelines, France, arch. Alvar Aalto ; Ancienne Nonciature, Grand Sablon, Brussels; Le Châlet de la Forêt, Soignes forest, Belgium, two-Michelin starred restaurant…). Spazio Nobile also takes part in Belgian and international fairs such as Art Brussels, Luxembourg Art Week, Collectible Design Fair, PAD Paris and PAD London, Design Miami / Basel, Unique Design Shanghai… The gallery represents about twenty emerging and renowned artists and designers on an international scale while promoting high-end craftsmanship and cultures of East and West. Spazio Nobile also curates TLmag_True Living of Art & Design (°2008), the bi-annual art and design magazine, print and online, sharing its selection and its artistic and cultural commitment to collectible art and design.
