Udo Zembok

Art Brokerage: Udo Zembok German Glass Artist: From 1972 to 1976 he studied graphic arts and painting in Braunschweig and Bonn, soon afterwards concentrating solely on working with glass, attracted by the resonant qualities of light and the way it metamorphoses in glass, the only material capable of showing the full depth of color: "While a student I discovered transparent color, the color of watercolors that gives the illusion of being light. By 'tearing up the opaque screen',in other words the artist's canvas, and replacing it with glass,my search for the transparency oflight and color took shape naturally." After living in Amsterdam for two years, he moved to France in 1978, first to Saint-Menoux near Moulins and then settling in Alsace in 1991. Author of a large number of works commissioned for public and privately owned religious and civil buildings in the Netherlands, Great Britain, the United States, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Germany and France, he has developed and applied new techniques from industry that use very large sheets of colored glass using pigments, fused together and thermoformed in large kilns.
