French artist's personal projects on debut show in China

Master glassmaker Eric Bonte may be known for his beautiful stained-glass ceilings and windows, but the Frenchman is highlighting a different creation for his first showcase in China.

His exhibition Born from Love, Roused by Freedom: The Glass Soul of Eric Bonte, which is being held at the Liuli China Museum in Shanghai from April 25 through October, features 32 glass sculptures consisting of transparent and pure glass with punctuations of black and gold.

"The exhibition sees Bonte leave behind the colorful domed ceilings of his past and move toward an abstract romanticism by shaking free from expectations and constraints," says Chang Yi, co-founder of Liuli China Museum and curator of the exhibition.
