    Art Brokerage: Carmen Spera American Glass Artist: Carmen Spera is a New York based artist who began as a painter in the 70s, pioneered the vanguard ‘furniture art movement’ of the 1980s and is best known for his glass sculptures of guns. nHis silkscreen prints reproduce these life-size, fragile, glass sculptures of weapons such as the AK47. By branding them with high-fashion design logos, such as that of Chanel, he seeks to evoke dialogues on power, the global market and arms trade. He has exhibited all over the US as well as in Italy and France. He currently have a studio within a glass-slumping factory in Red Hook, Brooklyn and take advantage of the industrial techniques he is exposed to there to create art objects infused with sociopolitical commentary that he finds interesting and relevant. He has taken the iconic images of assault weapons that typically inspire reactions of fear and discomfort and rendered them fragile by creating them from glass. He has also branded them with high fashion design emblems. These pieces join themes of violence and aggression with luxury and class, and are designed to evoke dialogue on power, the global market and arms trade. Listings wanted by Art Brokerage.
