he/him
Jeff Zimmer creates works that engage with the material and symbolic properties of glass to explore the nature of power dynamics, and the power of beauty to address brutality. He is interested in the sensual experiences of mystery, light and shadow. Jeff's work is in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; the European Museum for Modern Glass in Germany; the Portheimka Museum (Prague), the Glasmuseet Ebeltoft, Denmark and others. He has won the 2019 British Glass Biennale, and Second Prize in both the 2021 European Glass Context and the 2014 Coburg Prize for Contemporary Glass, Europe’s largest prize for artists working with glass.
