David Scott Patchen (born 1966) is an American glass artist who uses the techniques of cane and murrine in an American style.
Early life and education
David Scott Patchen was born 1966[1] in New Rochelle, New York.[2]
He is primarily self-taught since 2001. Informal education included visits to the studio of Afro Celotto, maestro and former assistant to Lino Tagliapietra in Murano, Italy, and an artistic merit scholarship to the Pilchuck Glass School.[3]
Work and career
Early in his career, Patchen assisted several artists including Afro Celotto and Marvin Lipofsky in creating their work.[3]
Patchen's work is internationally known[4] primarily for a combination of intricately patterned and vibrant color combinations in large scale blown glass.[5]
Patchen's series include forms titled "Resistenza", "Foglio", "Parabola", "Allegro", "Bloom", "Piscine", "Ellipse" and "Spheres" which are created in murrine and/or cane.[6] He has collaborated on sculptures with glass artists Mark Leputa in 2017, Rob Stern in 2019 and has an active collaboration with U.K. glass artist James Devereux on two series: Clovis and Quillon.[7]
As of 2024[update] Patchen resides in San Francisco, California, and works out of Public Glass in San Francisco.[3]
Recognition
Patchen was awarded an artist residency in 2010 in Seto city, Japan where his visit was covered by the local media and included lectures, demonstrations and a show of his work at the Seto City Art Museum.[8] Based on Patchen's expertise, his book "David Patchen: GLASS"[1] is part of the permanent collection of Giorgio Cini Foundation's Centro Studi del Vetro (Glass Study Center) library in Venice, Italy and the Rakow Library at the Corning Museum of Glass.[9]
His work is in many private and public collections, featured in many publications and frequently in shows such as SOFA Chicago (Sculpture, Objects Functional Art), ART Shanghai, COLLECT London, and ART Palm Beach. His work is shown in galleries and in museums in the U.S., and Europe.[10]
His work was featured in a cover article "Diving into Detail" in the March/April 2016 issue of Glass Art Magazine [11] and a follow-up "Glass for the Inquisitive Mind" in 2017.[12]
He has demonstrated publicly including at the Glass Art Society's international conference in 2015 in San Jose, CA and 2022 at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA, and as guest artist at the Corning Museum of Glass in 2017 and 2022.[13]
