View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Florian LechnerAbout Florian Lechner : Florian Lechner is essentially a border-crosser. This is clearly evident in a biography notable for its protagonist's move from Germany to France and a career that has seen him progress from painting to sculpture and architecture, from the surface to volume and space, and ultimately turn to glass, a material that is as enduringly novel as it is ancient. That Lechner's intellectual independence probes in many directions is also shown in his interest in the interaction between fine art and music - also in relation to the elapse of time and the power of written or spoken word. (Helmut Ricke)
My work is an attempt at making spiritual aspects visible in glass as a material. In this, light, space and sound are phenomena that refer beyond the material plane of his world.
