Glass Blower: Boy (2026) is a work of quiet conceptual brilliance — a print on paper depicting a young boy in a red long-sleeve top, jeans, and boots, standing alone against a pale, textured ground, a bubble wand raised to his lips. From the wand, a real hand-blown glass bubble protrudes from the surface of the print into the physical space of the viewer: the image and the object complete each other, the flat and the three-dimensional occupying the same plane, the represented act and its material consequence coexisting in a single framed work.

The conceit is simple and the execution extraordinary. Andrew Scott — whose practice operates at the intersection of printmaking, sculpture, and illusionist craft — has found in the bubble blower a subject perfectly calibrated to his method: a figure in the act of making something fragile, transparent, and temporary, whose product is here paradoxically made permanent in glass. The child's face is obscured by the wand and bubble, giving the figure a universality that keeps the work from sentiment while preserving its warmth. The red of the shirt — the single chromatic accent in an otherwise monochromatic composition — draws the eye with the precision of a Vermeer detail.

Because each glass bubble is hand-blown individually, no two impressions are identical — the bubble's size, curvature, and surface quality vary subtly between pieces, making each example both a limited edition print and a unique object. The work is framed with glass and presented with a signed label on the reverse.

FAQ

Is this an original Andrew Scott work? Yes — an original mixed-media work combining print on paper with a hand-blown glass bubble, signed on a label affixed to the reverse.

Is each example identical? No — because the glass bubble is hand-blown for each impression, there will be subtle variations in size, curvature, and surface quality between pieces. Each example is therefore both a limited edition print and a unique object.

Is the work framed? Yes — framed with glass, as shown. The three-dimensional glass bubble is accommodated within the depth of the frame.

How fragile is the glass element? The hand-blown glass bubble is an integral and delicate part of the work. Specialist packaging is used for all shipments to ensure its safe transit.

Is the work signed? Yes — a signed label is affixed to the reverse.

Do you ship internationally? Yes — worldwide, with specialist packaging suited to fragile mixed-media works, full insurance, and shipment tracking.
