Blown Glass Hurricane Lamp

Alma’s is pleased to present a selection of works available from Brooklyn-based artist, Leo Tecosky. Leo's Hurricane Candle Holders are open on the top and bottom, and come with an optional glass coaster for your pillar candle. This piece is blown and and feature sandblasted designs carved deep into the surface to play with the light from the flame. The Hurricanes are limited release as Leo does not consistently offer small batch production.

Available in Olive and Orange, each piece is roughly 14" tall and 5-6" in diameter. The orange is shown with an led candle (not included) set to pink, it shows how the carving plays with the light.

Tecosky has mastered various blown glass and hot sculpting techniques to form his stylized abstractions that clearly salute his love of hip hop and graffiti. Also being honored in his work is the craft of blown glass. Traditional processes are celebrated as he explores how these themes overlap with other cultural interest points. Carved into and layered onto the surface of his forms you will find text-based meditations seeking and sometimes pleading for truths. Much like his recurring arrow, familiar geometric patterns have entered the surface: octagrams sourced back to ancient petroglyphs share space with wild style stars, arrows and of course, the artist’s own tag: TECO. 

A father and a husband, Leo works as a glass blower in Brooklyn and teaches Glass at Tyler School of Art and Architecture. He earned his BA in Fine Art from Alfred University and his MFA from the School of Visual Arts in NY.
