Simon Berger’s Glass Art Technique and Visual Language Swiss artist Simon Berger is a master of his medium, a pioneering contemporary artist who has pushed the boundaries of artistic expression through his innovative glass artworks. Intricately and precisely, Berger pounds, cracks, and breaks panels of reinforced safety glass until his vision comes to life. Each blow of the hammer infuses high contrast and shades into an otherwise monochromatic surface. In his hands, the hammer is not a tool of destruction, but rather an amplifier of effects. Through the cracks emerge emotionally evocative portraits that play with light and transparency while drawing the viewer’s gaze into a meander of lesions the artist calls “morphogenesis.” Innovation, Recognition, and Global Exhibitions Breaking new ground for his all at once sculptural and painterly technique, Berger has made a name for himself within the contemporary art scene. Since making his first works on glass in 2017, Berger has participated in luxury collaborations and been invited to institutions and events worldwide. Notably, the artist partnered with the National Women’s History Museum to create a portrait of Vice President Kamala Harris in 2021. Later that year, Berger created works for the "We are Unbreakable" project, which honored the victims of the Beirut explosion in 2020. In the years to follow, Berger and his work have been showcased in solo exhibitions, group shows, and public installations around the world, including two of the most prominent glass art museums — Vitromusée in Romont, Switzerland, and Murano Glass Museum in Venice, Italy.
