Timo Fahler's innovative approach to stained glass art reinterprets the medium by integrating Mesoamerican codices and contemporary social themes. Distancing himself from traditional uses, Fahler views stained glass as a storytelling tool that reflects modern realities, especially in light of technological advancement and societal change. His artistic practice evolved from ceramics to glass sculptures, utilizing industrial materials like rebar to challenge perceptions of transparency and fragility associated with glass. Fahler's work serves as a visual commentary on the complexities of contemporary existence, encapsulating the anxieties and contradictions of our time.
Stained glass has long been associated with historic cathedrals... but Timo Fahler blends Mesoamerican imagery, national symbols, and contemporary themes, challenging conventional artistry.
