A large kilnformed glass bowl inspired by Georges Vantongerloo's "Composition II, Indigo Violet Derived from Equilateral Triangle" (1918). The bowl is a harmonious blend of mathematical precision and artistic abstraction, paying homage to Vantongerloo's avant-garde masterpiece.

The color palette unfolds in a subtle dance across the glass surface. Deep indigo and vibrant violet hues, meticulously chosen, echo the color scheme derived from Vantongerloo's equilateral triangle composition. The glass, carefully cut into geometric shapes, follows the calculated precision inherent in the artist's work.

The bowl's form is a testament to Vantongerloo's fascination with geometric abstraction. The equilateral triangle, a key element in his composition, is translated into three dimensions, creating a visually captivating pattern on the curved surface of the bowl. The edges of the glass pieces are clean and defined, mirroring the mathematical rigor of Vantongerloo's artistic approach.

As light filters through the transparent glass, the bowl transforms into a canvas for a mesmerizing play of color and light. The indigo and violet hues come to life, casting subtle reflections and shadows that shift with each change in lighting conditions. This dynamic quality captures the essence of Vantongerloo's exploration of form and color.
