Bernard Heesen (Leerdam, 1958) is a glass artist. Glass is a mysterious material, at high temperatures it is soft and malleable, cold it is hard. “Insanely beautiful stuff” and “terribly after stuff”: Heesen is ambivalent about glass. “It's rare that I make things that come out of the kiln more beautiful than they went in.” Glass that is 'finished' – cold glass – has a strange aesthetic, according to Heesen. Besides, it can break. Hot glass, on the other hand, is very different: fluid and movable.
Since 1982, Heesen has been working in De Oude Horn, a glassworks that was founded in 1977 by his father Willem Heesen. After assisting him in the making process for several years, Bernard also chose glass art in 1986. As a glassblower he works together with artists and designers such as Andries Copier, Maria Roosen and Tony Cragg.
