Spatial Shade Segment II is a pink glass and mixed-media sculpture by Lisette Schumacher, inspired by architectural brickwork. Warm rose and reddish-brown tones meet translucent areas and delicate white lines. The glass edges have a subtle green tint, framing the colour within a fan-shaped form.

The sculpture belongs to Spatial Shade — Segment and Arch, a series rooted in the curved brick walls and decorative reliefs of the Amsterdamse School. Schumacher takes the brick as a sculptural building block, referencing the craftsmanship and material sensitivity found in the designs of Jo van der Mey, Michel de Klerk and Piet Kramer.

Rendered in solid, hand-cast Venetian glass, this familiar architectural element acquires transparency and visual depth. Segment II combines the rhythm of its curved outline with soft colour transitions and flowing marks, inviting close attention to the relationship between glass, colour and light.

Spatial Shade Segment I is a blue geometric glass and mixed-media sculpture by Lisette Schumacher. A curved upper edge, angled sides and a concave lower edge define its fan-shaped silhouette. Intense blue colour is crossed by fine, flowing white lines, creating a sense of movement within the compact architectural form.

Part of Spatial Shade — Segment and Arch, the sculpture takes its starting point from the shaped brick. The curved brickwork and ornamental façade reliefs of the Amsterdamse School inform the series, with references to architects Jo van der Mey, Michel de Klerk and Piet Kramer.

Schumacher translates this building element into solid, hand-cast Venetian glass. In Segment I, the contrast between the precise outline and the sweeping blue-and-white composition connects architectural structure with an expressive use of colour.

Spatial Shade Arch I is a pale blue glass and mixed-media sculpture by Lisette Schumacher. Its semicircular arch surrounds an open centre, while flowing white markings extend across the translucent form. The substantial glass edges catch the light, giving the architectural shape a changing visual depth.

The work belongs to Spatial Shade — Segment and Arch, a series inspired by the curved brick walls and decorative façade reliefs of the Amsterdamse School. Schumacher draws on the use of brick in the designs of Jo van der Mey, Michel de Klerk and Piet Kramer, translating an architectural building block into solid, hand-cast Venetian glass.

The open arch makes the space around and beneath the sculpture part of the composition. It brings together Schumacher’s interest in architecture, craftsmanship and the relationship between solid material and light.

Magnitude #18 by Francisca Snel has a dark, concentrated appearance, interrupted by deep green passages and reddish accents. Its rounded glass body contains a dense internal structure, with clearer areas offering glimpses into the work.

Colour and transparency are closely balanced here. The darker glass establishes the overall form, while green details draw the eye further inside. Moving around the sculpture reveals different relationships between these elements. Magnitude #18 brings Snel’s attention to material behaviour into a work whose complexity becomes apparent through close viewing.

The copper mesh takes a prominent role in Crystal Clear #14 by Francisca Snel. Visible through reddish-brown glass, its fine network occupies much of the upright form, while turquoise and amber accents gather towards the lower section.

This sculpture invites close attention to the relationship between its materials. The glass provides a smooth outer surface; the copper introduces folds, openings and an intricate internal texture. An object associated with cleaning becomes something to examine and retain, with its original structure still recognisable within the artwork.

Crystal Clear #11 by Dutch artist Francisca Snel brings red glass and copper together in an upright, rounded sculpture. A clear outer edge surrounds the darker centre, revealing the contrast between the smooth glass surface and the intricate mesh within.

The work belongs to Snel’s Crystal Clear series, which begins with a copper cleaning sponge. Preserved within glass, this everyday object becomes the subject of sustained attention. Its tangled structure remains recognisable, connecting the sculpture’s rich colour to questions of domestic labour, care and the value we assign to ordinary materials.

Francisca Snel combines blown glass and copper in this colourful sculpture from her Crystal Clear series. Layers of turquoise, deep green, amber and red surround the fine structure of a copper cleaning sponge, transforming an overlooked household object into contemporary art. Because the colours, transparency and embedded copper change from every angle, the sculpture has no fixed front and can be placed freely in a space.

From the series Spatial Shade

For this series, Lisette Schumacher uses the form of the brick as a fundamental building element. Referencing modernist architects such as Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto and Le Corbusier, the brick is approached not as a static unit, but as a modular structure through which space can be constructed.
In Spatial Shade XV, this architectural logic is translated into solid hand-cast glass. Rather than traditional stone, Schumacher works with glass bricks in varying tones and densities, allowing the material itself to define the work. The sculpture is built around a central void, creating a contained space that shifts through light and perspective. The coloured glass functions as both structure and surface. Its translucent quality introduces depth that is not physically measurable, but optically experienced. Layers of amber, yellow and warm orange tones intensify towards the centre, while edges remain more diffuse, allowing light to enter and disperse through the form. Subtle traces of the casting process - air bubbles, flow lines and internal variations - remain visible, reinforcing the material presence of the work. These elements are not imperfections, but essential to how the sculpture holds light.Balancing between architectural clarity and optical complexity, Spatial Shade XV operates as a compact spatial construction, where mass, colour and transparency continuously interact.

From the series Spatial Shade

For this series, Lisette Schumacher approaches the brick as a modular unit to construct space. Referencing modernist architecture, the work builds on the logic of stacking, balancing and repetition to create a compact spatial composition.
In Spatial Shade XIII, this principle becomes more explicitly sculptural. Two volumes are positioned in relation to each other, forming a vertical structure that feels both stable and slightly asymmetrical. The composition reads almost as a distilled architectural form, reduced to its essential elements.

The work is executed in solid hand-cast glass, replacing the traditional stone brick with a material that allows light to pass through and define the structure from within. Layers of cool blue and turquoise tones interact with deeper, more saturated accents, creating a shifting visual depth that changes with the viewer’s position.
The surface carries traces of its making: subtle flow lines, variations in density and small inclusions that emphasise the physical process of casting. These details activate the interior of the work, giving the sculpture a sense of movement within an otherwise precise form.
Rather than describing space, the work constructs it, using colour, mass and transparency as its primary tools.

From the series Spatial Shade

In the Spatial Shade series, Lisette Schumacher creates glass sculptures from solid handcast coloured glass. Each work is carefully composed from individual glass elements, resulting in balanced forms that reveal subtle differences in colour and transparency.

Light plays an essential role in these sculptures. As light moves through the glass, reflections and colour variations appear within the material. The sculpture changes depending on the angle from which it is viewed, revealing different layers and tones.

The compact scale of the work allows for close viewing, where the depth of the glass and the transitions between colours become visible. The weight and clarity of the material give the sculpture a strong physical presence.

Schumacher’s sculptures highlight the qualities of glass as a material, where colour, light and form come together in a single object.
