Kieran Vogt

Kieran Vogt is a multi-disciplinary artist from Ottawa, Ontario, working in glass, illustration, and pyrography. The discovery and interpretation of patterns, especially those found in the natural world, inform his art. He is fascinated by highly detailed, decorative work that takes aesthetic cues from gothic architecture and art nouveau. Nature and the fantastical have been lifelong interests of his and the excitement and love derived from this special relationship are reflected in the work he creates. While he culls great inspiration from the entire natural world, he has a particular fondness for the diverse forms of insects, plants, and fungi. That prevailing passion is reflected in his current work which centres around abstracted glass floral sculptures and lattices. It explores the multifaceted forms inherent in the biosphere and takes cues from the symmetry and innate geometry of life on a microscopic level.

While having thoroughly enjoyed working with a multitude of different media, since discovering lampworking in September 2022, glass has become his fervent passion and joy.
