Brains
Artist Bertil Vallien · 2021
Bertil Vallien has created a new collection of twelve Brains , with individual expressions , which is being launched in autumn 2021 . The pieces are punty pressed in a mold at Kosta Glassworks . Many of the objects are handpainted , some with leaves of gold or silver . All Brains come in a velvet bag and in a gift box .
Bertil Vallien created Brains in the 80s as “ an anti-stress object for the hand and the eye . To place at the desk , have it next to the bed and to bring along when traveling .” In the past , each head used to have a name inspired by great thinkers or artists . Instead , this edition is launched as “ seeds of thoughts ” or messengers .
“ I sometimes think of the brain as a seed . When a thought is blossoming in the darkness behind the protective skull . It is almost like the brain is blooming . Thoughts can survive for thousands of years , just like seeds , and I want to believe the good always conquers the bad . These mini sculptures with a message fit in your hand and have been named Brains . I have tried to enclose some ” seeds of thoughts ” in the pieces , that have passed through my own brain … can you relate ? Just give them a moment to mature ” – Bertil Vallien
