Through The Glasshouse
Sam Wilde officially debuted his hand-painted ceramic collection Glasshouse at the Turner Contemporary Open in celebration of the gallery’s 10th anniversary.
On display from 23 October 2021 – 20 February 2022, artworks spanned across mediums and included work by internationally renowned artists such as Tracey Emin, Rose Wylie and Margo Selby.
Utopia From Dystopia
The fourteen Glasshouse worlds were hand-painted by Sam Wilde and feature ornate brushwork coupled with vivid swathes of colour. Each of the individual Glasshouse ceramics has their own story to tell, together they chronicle a journey through a series of abandoned industrial and leisure spaces.
Reimagining these locals in a world where pollutants and nuclear waste have become a fixture of the environment. Seeping artificial chemicals into and the mutated flora that now overruns these worlds.
