About the Artist
Stephan Cox has made original art for over 45 years, working mainly in glass since 1979. His complex, abstract, contemporary sculpture is collected and exhibited worldwide - his recent series of mythical men and beasts are outlandish, fantastical, strange, and rare.
A master glassmaker, Cox works alone at his rural Wisconsin studios, designing, blowing, carving, fitting, and assembling a remarkably diverse output – commissions both residential and corporate, decorative sculpture for exhibit, and his ethereal figurative pieces.
Artist Statement
I strive to make interesting and seductive objects, turning to the trusty aesthetic building blocks of color, form, texture, and light to achieve a compelling frozen moment.
The figures, my men and beasts, my waking fever dreams, are suggestive rather than strictly narrative, evoking many ingredients of life - melancholy, euphoria, love, hate, beauty, sex, violence, fear, confusion, chaos, and calm.
*Teapots that are purchased will remain on display in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition, through September 14, 2026.
After the show closes, teapots will be carefully packed and shipped by September 28, or they may be picked up at the gallery.
