Warren Carther is a Winnipeg based artist. He attended the university of Manitoba’s School of Art and later, studied glass blowing in New York and California. In his senior year, as student of Marvin Lipofsky at the California College of the Arts, he began to envision creating enormous walls of sculpted glass. He soon realized that the scale he was seeking was not possible at the end of a blowpipe. Upon graduation he returned to Canada and began exploring the material on his own, in order to realize that vision.
His work addresses in various ways, the idea of the interdependence of human beings and nature, and the dichotomies that exist within that relationship.
He believes in the almost universal desire for human beings to give meaning to their environment through the creation of art. This has remained consistent since the time of early human cave drawings. Art is an essential component of the built environment and the lives of human beings are altered by art that they encounter, sometimes by chance and sometimes routinely, in their daily lives. This understanding drives his desire to create art for the public sphere.
He has completed over a hundred site-specific installations worldwide. Some of these sites are: The Canadian Embassy in Tokyo, Japan :: The Investors Group Building, Winnipeg, Canada :: Lincoln House office Tower, Hong Kong, China :: The Ottawa International Airport, Ottawa, Canada, :: Charles de Galle Airport, Paris, France :: The Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida :: The Anchorage International Airport, Anchorage, Alaska :: The Sacred Heart Medical center, Eugene, Oregon.
