Glass birds inspired by the colours of the "NightWatch" by Rembrandt.
Rembrandt was known for the use of Chiaroscuro.
Chiaroscuro in art is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark,
usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition.
In this exhibition you will see that Bibi has been inspired to use Chiaroscuro
in her work by displaying her sparkling chandeliers against the dark background.

"Bird Swarm": glass and steel chandelier, with internal LED lights,inspired by the light of Rembrandt.
"Masterly- the Dutch in Milano" is collaborating with NBTC commemorating
350 years since the death of Rembrandt. In the adjacent room from Bibi’s
exhibition, upstairs in Palazzo Francesco Turati, the Rijksmuseum will be
highlighting Rembrandt. This inspired the event's organiser, Nicole Uniquole,
to hang a large print of the “Nightwatch” on the wall, so that the chandeliers
are exhibited against the background of a life-size print of Rembrandt's painting.
Bibi will be exhibiting a series of playful, sparkling chandeliers and other unique
glass sculptures. She is looking forward to meet you and highlight her work in Milano.
Ciao!
