Contemporary Wall Art ‘Paris Boogie Woogie’ by Adam Hussain

Clever contemporary wall art glass created from the finest American ‘Bullseye’ Glass.

Handmade fused glass sheets with 1mm glass rod stringers. The panel is supplied with metal fixtures that set the piece 20mm off the wall, allowing interplay of light colour and shadow.

Inspired by a photograph of the Parisienne skyline captured from the Le Marais neighbourhood, combined with a love of Piet Mondrian. A few abstracts by Mondrian have been combined into the skyline.

Contemporary Wall Art – Artist

Adam Hussain Glass designs and makes contemporary glass art from concept to installation for a variety of clients. These include artworks for galleries, corporate and private commissions, public commissions, as well as interiors for homes and businesses.  A twenty-four-panelled glass wall installation at Coventry University in 2018 was a career highlight. This incredible achievement came after a nine-year art residency.

Adam specialises in kiln-form techniques to create one-off artworks, which have a handmade character. His award-winning artwork ‘A Fine Line’ was featured in ‘Vogue’s Contemporary Collection’ for the home. These are geometric patterns and abstract imagery of cityscapes constructed with 1mm glass stringers. The relationship between glass, light and space is a key element of his practice. Using both transparent and opaque glass, he experiments with the transmitted and reflected light created by each artwork.

Much of Adam’s work starts from his black-and-white photography of modern architecture and cityscapes. These research studies inform his glass artwork. The works of modern painters such as Mondrian and Rothko, for their use of bold and vivid colours, are an inspiration for Adam. A fusion of all these factors results in the final abstract nature of his art.

Adam creates his art in his studio in Coventry. A key member of the local art community, Adam holds gallery events with other local artists and art organisations as well as teaching students. In 2018 and 2019, he was the Craft Council’s Talent Ambassador for the West Midlands.
