Unlike most artists working in glass, George Papadopoulos
treats his medium with a healthy disrespect.
Using a technique he developed at the Royal College of Art,
Papadopoulos breaks, colours and textures sheets of industrial glass
and then re-laminates them to make architectural-scale artworks that
look fragile but are extremely durable.
These works express the in-built paradoxes of glass: that it is commonplace
and extraordinary, visible and invisible, dangerous and strong.
Born in Cyprus in 1969, Papadopoulos lives in London and
has studios there and in Germany.
He is author of the A&C Black book, Glass Lamination
