PAUL HANCE

Paul Hance was born in Paris, raised in California. He is an important representative of a new generation of artists, that challenge the premises of the contemporary art world: after learning photography, he has been researching on traditional techniques, creating a nomadic practice. His works emphasize the nobility of materials and are anchored in the alchemy of glass blowing. They are an homage to the inter connectivity of all things and the knowledge produced and preserved by the humans.
