Crowned Heads by Mr. FLOWERHeadZ
Listening to Caribbean legends and sharing his great-grandmother’s love for horticulture, artist Hugh Findletar has found a way to incorporate many passions into his glass works, made by master glass blowers in the furnaces of Murano and inspired by his childhood in Jamaica. His baroque FLOWERHeadZ are portrait busts of friends and muses, but also vases to fill with seasonal flowers.
Mr. FLOWERheadZ and the Four Elements
Artist Hugh Findletar came across glass blowing on a trip to Kenya many years ago. Fascinated by the craft he eventually ended up working with a Master at a furnace in Murano, one of the islands in the lagoon of Venice. The craft of glass blowing uses the four ancient elements, fire, earth, water and air to create transparent and jewel like objects capturing the light and imagination.
Known as Mr. FLOWERheadZ, Findletar’s unique vases are favorites of Italian fashionistas. His beautiful and humorous vases, called FLOWERheadZ, are portraits of family and friends. Buying one entails the pleasant task of filling them with flowers just as the artists does. Currently his work is featured in Nomad Palais Bulles in partnership with Phillips Auction by The Spaceless Gallery.
FLOWERheadZ for Fall
Bring a fantasy garden inside this fall, a job easily done with Hugh Findletar’s, a.k.a. Mr. FLOWERheadZ, vases and glass objects. The vases, the FLOWERheadZ, are just as beautiful with or without flowers and will bring joy to every day. Findletar works with the best craftsmen in the traditional glass furnaces of Murano. Each vase is unique, a portrait of a friend or source of inspiration for the artist.
A favorite of Italian fashionistas, Findletar has done collaborations with Pomellato and Boyy, as well as showing in Parisian couture fleurist Stéphane Chapelle’s in Paris.
