Profile

Born in 1962 in Dublin, Killian Schurmann trained as a Scientific Glass Blower in Germany in 1980 before embarking upon a ten year period of travel. Working as a journeyman Killian visited glass studios throughout the world and worked in the field of studio glass art which subsequently formed the foundation for his studio in Dublin. During the nineties between private commissions and exhibition work Killian perfected his art of glass by creating new colour compositions, textures and ways of controlling the passage of light. Throughout the past five years Killian has developed a style of composition and subject matter which distinguishes his work as a glass artist in sculptured work and glass panels. Killian continues to travel extensively, taking inspiration for his work from both urban and rural landscapes. Later this year his work will be exhibited in the John Martin Fine Art Gallery in London. Now working from his glass studio at the foot of the Dublin Hills, Killian has, over the past 20 years, exhibited his work throughout Europe. His glass panels are retained in many public and private collections including Allied Irish Banks Art Collection, The Bank of Ireland, The US Ambassador’s Residence in Ireland, National Self Portrait Collection, Dublin Castle, The Ulster Museum as well as The Glass Museum, Wertheim.
