Works Available

George Aslanis has been an artist and involved in art education all his adult life.  He is currently completing his PhD and is also the Co-ordinator of the Glass and Ceramic Studio in the Faculty of Art and Design, Department of Fine Arts, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.  He has taught many Australian contemporary glass artists throughout his academic career.

George’s practice involves a dialogue that describes ‘state of being’.  Symbol and metaphor are important motifs in his work.  Drawing from cultures past and present he combines various elements to create visually complex cast glass sculptures.

These objects are read from two sides, a sculpted textured surface and an open view into the interior space of the glass.  The question of what exists beneath the surface, the interior life often unseen is a constant aspect of George Aslanis’ work.
