LSB Atelier

Behind the initials LSB lie the figures of Louis and Silvie Brière, born into a family of master glassmakers going back four generations, who have passed on their know-how to them. In 1983, Silvie entered the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris in the painting section, while Louis took over the Atelier Brière in 1995. Today, Louis works at Ateliers Duchemin, where he is involved in many artists' stained-glass creations and the restoration of heritage stained-glass windows, while Silvie is a painter in the South of France.

They grew up in a 19th-century workshop where their parents created and produced stained glass. Hundreds of models, drawings, engravings, glass of every color, the smell of all kinds of materials, are forever etched in their imaginations. The Brière family made their living from stained glass. Their most famous creations include La Coupole du Printemps or Jean Cocteau's stained-glass windows in Metz.

LSB was born of Louis and Silvie's strong desire to question their origins. They wanted to combine their know-how and their undeniable complementary skills. Together, they created an objet d'art combining contemporary glass painting and ancestral master glassmaking techniques.. The latter consists of using grisaille for the design and enamels for the coloring, followed by multiple firings at up to 630°.

The art object Opus is the result of l'observation of the medalliontraditionally incorporated into stained glass, and the transposition of Silvie's pictorial expression onto glass. Diffused light and the interplay of transparency create an abstract landscape.
