BRENT KEE YOUNG

Brent Kee Young’s innovative glass techniques beautifully express his conceptual thoughts and his object based designs.  His unique and technically complex structures are displayed in major museum collections around the world.  In his Matrix Series he flame works Corning Pyrex rods to create intricately layered glass webs.  The delicate luminosity of this work is truly exquisite.  Yet some of his greatest influence has occurred in universities.  He headed the establishment of the first glass program in a national university in Japan and since 1973 he has been Professor and Chairman of the Glass Department at the Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland, Ohio.  Brent Kee Young is one of the leading artists in his field.
