Through the pages of this volume, one embarks on a mesmerising journey into the world of glass mosaic, guided by the works of Jan Fabre. His talent and dedication to his craft culminate in a body of work that not only challenges the boundaries of traditional art forms, but also shows the limitless possibilities that lie within the humble, yet infinitely versatile medium of glass. The four new series upon which this book focuses are brilliant explorations on the themes of research, experimentation and turning the world upside down. As a Belgian artist such as Jan Fabre, the carnivalesque, and the celebration of the flesh, are recurrent elements in his oeuvre.
