The fragile beauty of glaciers

IMAGES PROVIDED BY THE ARTISTS

New Berkshire Museum exhibition chronicles climate change through painting and sculpture

“A context that really matters but with a focus on beauty” is the way glass sculptor Peter Bremers describes a new exhibition at the Berkshire Museum, “Homage to the Glacier.” Bremers and painter Jim Schantz want to bring the sense of fragility and splendor of the natural world to us along with an important message.

The pair were inspired to create a series of new pastels, paintings and glass sculptures that will be featured in the exhibition, which was born after the two returned and had a long phone conversation to discuss the experience they had together.

The two talked about the trip, the conversation they had when they returned, and the resulting exhibition in a recent interview.

In May of 2023, Bremers, who has been to Iceland many times, and who has explored glaciers in his work before, created an itinerary to share with Schantz. They explored Vatnajökull, which is the second largest glacier in Europe. Ice from the glacier falls regularly into a lagoon called Jökulsarlón.

public to care about the effects of climate change is, rather than preaching, to take the approach of highlighting the beauty that will disappear if we don’t recognize and attempt to slow or stop what is happening.

Schantz noted in the exhibition catalog that the Glacial Lagoon was his “greatest inspiration.” He said that the experience allowed him “to dream bigger and go beyond what I’ve done as an artist.” He says the 6 paintings and pastels in the exhibition have provided him a platform to sound an alarm and show how important our natural resources are and what would be at stake if they were lost.

land where, he says, chunks of ice from the glaciers fall onto the beach, into the bay, travel through a river and into the ocean. Icebergs are thrown onto a black lava beach there and look like diamonds.

The artists were interested to see how each interpreted the sights on the trip. Bremers says it was informative for him to see how Schantz saw the glaciers and experienced Iceland. He says that people think ice is blue and white, but that it is actually a reflector.

“If the sky changes color, ice does, too.” Bremers points to Schantz’ work, “Jökulsarlón Dusk” to illustrate the phenomenon.

Where: Berkshire Museum, 39 South St., Pittsfield

When: Nov. 2 to Jan. 5, 2025

For 18 months, they “worked separately but with the same memory,” says Bremers. He says that the work is important because it is “such a political topic — it shouldn’t be. It should be beyond political” because of the effects a changing climate will have for generations to come.

The artists point out that they believe the way to motivate the

Schantz likens the work to the output of the Hudson River School painters. They knew, he says, that their majestic landscape was changing due to industrialization. Schantz says the two artists are “evolving from the same experience” both artistically and environmentally” — expanding their knowledge of what is occurring as glaciers in Iceland melt and the bays, rivers and oceans change, while pushing their artistic boundaries in a way that will connect with audiences and cause them to care because of the attraction of this unique beauty.

Bremers expands, noting that by using the optical effects of glass, he is trying to show the structure and changes in ice — trying to achieve the look of a melting and changing piece of ice in a static sculpture. He recalls visiting Diamond Beach in Ice-

Schantz says Bremers’ pieces “go beyond three dimensions. The color is so much like the clarity of the ice and the magic of what the ice can do.”

Bremers’ work in glass began by accident when he happened into a glassblowing workshop in the Netherlands. His works are in major public collections including the Art Museum of the Hague and the Glasmuseet Ebeltoft in Denmark.

Schantz ‘ work can be found in the collection of The Art Complex in Duxbury, the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, and here at the Berkshire Museum and others.

The two say they are already talking about when they might make another trip to Iceland. Bremers says journeying there and seeing the glaciers is a “spiritual approach — it’s talking to your soul.”
