Sebastiaan Knot was born in Groningen, Holland in 1970, and is currently based in Rotterdam. With over 20 years of experience in commercial photography, graphic, and web design, Knot has transitioned into the world of fine art in recent years. He creates abstract compositions using light as his primary medium to manipulate color and form, resulting in visually striking pieces that challenge the viewer’s perception.
Knot’s work has been exhibited internationally, including a notable show at Fondation Vasarely in July 2022, where his work was displayed alongside that of Victor Vasarely. His photographs are held in the collection of the Maasstad Hospital, as well as in private collections. Knot has been featured in various publications, including a 12-page feature in Aesthetica Magazine issue 111 in 2023.
Knot’s approach to photography is unconventional; he uses light as the subject matter itself rather than using it to make something visible. He emphasizes the organic nature of the forms and the interplay between light and space by creating illusory geometries without any digital manipulation. Knot’s work is created in his studio, where he places a composition of simple shapes surrounded by studio lamps with different color filters. When shooting, the composition is illuminated simultaneously, resulting in a unique shot with scattered light, shadows, and mixed colors. This process creates a unique visual experience that challenges the viewer’s perception of reality. Knot’s work invites the viewer to immerse themselves in a world of vibrant abstractions.

Damien Hirst, a poster boy for the Young British Artists who rose to prominence in late 1980s London, is one of the most notorious artists of his generation. He has pushed the limits of fine art and good taste with sculptures that comprise dead animals submerged in formaldehyde; innumerable spot paintings that appear mass-produced and can sell for millions of dollars; and the exuberantly tacky For the Love of God (2007), a human skull studded with 8,601 diamonds. Through his installations, sculptures, drawings, and paintings, Hirst explores themes including religion, mortality, and desire. Since 1988, when the artist developed and curated “Freeze,” a groundbreaking exhibition of his work and that of his Goldsmiths College peers, he has been the subject of major shows at Tate Modern in London, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Ai Weiwei’s middle finger has been a recurrent theme in the artist production. His photographic series, Study of Perspective (from 1995 onwards), encourages questioning towards governments, institutions and establishments. Ai’s middle finger in flipping of the bird gesture in front of symbols of power across the globe, from the Tiananmen Square to the White House, makes explicit the artist’s rejection of any form of oppression against human freedom. With a raise of his middle finger, Weiwei champions the social responsibility and the importance of standing for our own values and not those created by others. .
“My favourite word? It’s ‘act.’ “. Ai Weiwei

This precious edition of 100 Study of Perspective in Glass (2019) in six different colours nods to the series Study of Perspective, pointing out to the artist’s deepest beliefs regarding freedom of speech and democratic values. The translation in Murano glass of the iconic Ai Weiwei’s middle finger in six different colours, is powerful and yet elegant. The sculptures, made out from the artist´s own hand cast, embody the deep and engaged message of Study of Perspective series in an edition of precious material and superlative craftsmanship: the innate light and airy qualities of the glass melt with the sturdiness of the design producing a rare effect of beauty and mystic power.
Born on August 28, 1957 in Beijing, China, Ai Weiwei is without any doubts one of the most celebrated contemporary artist and political activist of our days..

Fragile Structures: The Alchemy of Glass
April 6 - May 10

Tony Cragg and Ai Weiwei: Two masters of monumental form, united by the delicate alchemy and ‘rigid fluidity’ of glass.
Oliver Cole Gallery is proud to present Fragile Structures: The Alchemy of Glass, a focused exhibition featuring the glass masterworks of two of the world’s most influential contemporary artists: Ai Weiwei and Tony Cragg. This exhibition explores the transformative journey of glass—a material born from the elemental chaos of sand, fire, and breath—as it settles into a state of “rigid fluidity.”
Both Cragg and Weiwei are renowned for their command over monumental materials like bronze, steel, and stone. In Fragile Structures, they pivot toward the ethereal and the transparent, utilizing the ancient alchemy of glassmaking to bridge the gap between scientific precision and profound human experience.
For Tony Cragg, glass is a vehicle for complex geometry. Drawing on his deep scientific knowledge, Cragg manipulates the molecular composition of the medium to create sculptures that appear as frozen vortices or architectural towers. These “geometric objects” are designed to trigger an instinctive emotional response, challenging the viewer to find life within the mathematics of form.
In contrast, Ai Weiwei approaches glass as a silent witness to our reality. Developed through an intensive three-year project in the historic furnaces of Murano, his first-ever sculptures in glass reflect the tensions between tradition and the modern world. For Weiwei, the transparency of the medium serves as a lens through which we reflect upon the relationships between joy and anxiety, and the fragile boundary between life and death.
Fragile Structures invites the viewer into a dialogue where ancient craft meets contemporary aesthetics. By uniting Cragg’s structural rigor with Weiwei’s symbolic depth, the exhibition reveals glass as a medium that is both relational and measured—an architecture of identity where chemistry and emotion coexist in a delicate, dynamic balance.

Dissident artist Ai Weiwei is famous for conceptual artworks that challenge authority and explore the links between the contemporary world and traditional Chinese culture. His photographs, sculptures, films, performances, and installations earned him ire from the Chinese government, which imprisoned him for 81 days in 2011 and razed his studio in 2018. Ai left the country in 2015. His most lauded works include Sunflower Seeds (2010)—for which the artist scattered 100 million porcelain “seeds” (hand-painted by Chinese artisans) across the floor of Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall—and Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn (1995), in which he destroyed the eponymous cultural artifact. Urns are frequent motifs throughout Ai’s practice, which often comments on mass consumption, individuality, censorship, and interconnections among contemporary cultures. Ai studied at the Beijing Film Academy before attending Parsons School of Design, and he has exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Copenhagen, Beijing, London, and other cities. His work belongs in the collections of multiple institutions, including Centre Pompidou, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Tate, among others. Ai served as an artistic consultant for the design of the Bird’s Nest stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. His work has sold for millions of dollars at auction, yet given the diversity of his practice, many of his pieces sell for four or five figures on the secondary market.
