Born from the “golden era” of the American Studio Glass movement, both his father and uncle were glass artists in their own right. Though young in age, Dante Marioni is a key contender in this generation of glass artists.
Marioni’s blown-glass vessels are his trademark: large yet slender and elongated, fluid, elegant, and presented through an array of color. Strongly influenced by Venetian glass, he makes it his own by injecting a uniquely modern slant and through skilled elongation and magnification. Using cherry reds, golden mustards and olive greens - the fresh colors of life add further enticement to an already attractive creation.
