In this photo essay, we showcase some of the beautiful glassworks on display in the Kuala Lumpur gallery located in the bustling Bukit Bintang neighbourhood. Liuli is a word for glass art, and the exhibits include figurines, vessels, zodiac signs, Buddha statuettes, and mythical creatures. There is also tableware, jewellery, and good luck gifts.
Lighting and shadows bring out the delicate patterns and elements in the artworks. They are priced from $50 to $25,000 and above. The company also runs workshops on liuli art and culture, based on clay molds and sculptures.
The techniques involve materials like wax and plaster, leading to highly detailed patterns and textures. Some of these techniques date back centuries, and have been resurrected and enhanced since then.
Now, what have you done today to pause in your busy schedule and see what you can do to tap the broad historical sweep of art?
