About The Artwork

Silverstone is the initial series of work where I juxtapose ancient nature (stones) against contemporary society (instant media and our perception of the world through hand held lenses). We experience fleeting moments of secondhand visual cues from all over the globe through our electrified pocket lenses. These sculptures are merely an attempt to ground us and experience the moment of here and now. Each lens is hand ground and polished using almost forgotten cold working techniques (cutting, grinding and polishing of glass). Please have a look at lotharbottcher.com for more info on my current work.

Since the Glass Art & Design department opened at the Tshwane University of Technology in 1994 Lothar has been instrumental in giving glass a “voice” as an expressive medium. In 2000 Lothar qualified as Glasschleifer (cold worker - cut, carve and polish of glass) at the Staatliche Glasfachschule Hadamar, Germany. Since 2001 his company, Obsidian Glass, offers high-quality design and craftsmanship of hand made glass products. In 2019 he concluded his Master Course parts I & II at the Glasfachschule Zwiesel, Germany. His sculptures and work are revered in South Africa and internationally in private and public collections. Lothar is represented in the Pretoria Art Museum, The Corning Museum of Glass (USA), Glasmuseum Frauenau (Germany), Glasmuseum Hadamar (Germany) and Glasmuseum Lette (Germany). Pocket Lens, a sculpture commenting on our digital lives, is part of the New Glass Now exhibition. This internationally acclaimed exhibition of selected contemporary glass works, celebrating the Corning Museum of Glass’ 40th anniversary of the New Glass Review publication, was recently shown at the Smithsonian Renwick Gallery, Washington DC. New Glass Now is currently part of the International Year of Glass festivities at the Toyama Glass Art Museum, Japan. Lothar has curated numerous glass exhibitions in South Africa. Most notably, the Blow Your Sculpture project, which has had several iterations over the years at the Pretoria Art Museum. He is currently curator for the United Nations International Year of Glass exhibition titled Fired Up! - Celebrating Southern African Glass Art, which will be held from the 3rd of September until 30 October 2022 at the Pretoria Art Museum.
