奥泰我さんのガラスは、1300℃を超える熱のなかで生まれます。

ハチミツのように溶けたガラスが垂れないよう常に竿を回し続け、冷え固まる前に最低限の手数で一気に形づくる。

その途切れることのない回転とスピードから生み出されたフォルムは、初夏の光を透かす「水」のように涼やかで、凛とした佇まいを持っています。

「毎日使うもの。そばに置いておきたいもの。シンプルで美しいものを。」
奥さんはこういった思いのもと制作されております。

奥さんの作品はガラス自体の色味が美しく、光を通すと虹色に輝きます。
繊細なフォルムですが、程よく厚みや重さもあり、普段の生活に馴染みながら美しく彩ってくれる作品たちです。

These are works by Taiga Oku, a glass artist working in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture.

His beautiful, transparent works, through which light passes, are created using the blow-work (blown glass) technique.
He meticulously crafts his vessels with a focus on what constitutes a beautiful form. The word "dignified" perfectly describes them; their mere presence tightens the space around them.

Mr. Oku creates his works with the belief that they should be "items for daily use, things you want to keep close, simple and beautiful."

Mr. Oku's works are characterized by the beautiful color of the glass itself, which sparkles with rainbow hues when light passes through it.
Although they have delicate forms, they also have a moderate thickness and weight, making them works that beautifully adorn everyday life while seamlessly blending in.
