Richard Landers

Artist Bio

Richard Landers is a contemporary glass artist whose sculptural practice explores the interplay of light, form, and space. Working primarily with laminated float glass, often recycled from discarded windowpanes, Landers creates structural works that draw attention to the subtle choreography between reflection, refraction, and negative space. His minimalist forms harness the natural light and surrounding environment, borrowing hues and shifting tones to animate otherwise colourless surfaces.

Balancing precision with intuition, Landers employs the repetition of simple geometric shapes to explore spatial relationships and visual tension. At the heart of his work is a fascination with what is not there: the voids, the absences, and the spaces in between. Each sculpture is a negotiation between material and environment, positive and negative space, light and shadow. While deceptively restrained, these works carry a quiet complexity that rewards close inspection, encouraging viewers to pause, look again, and consider what they might have overlooked.
