Scott Chaseling is a cross-medium sculptor, who has pushed the definitions and boundaries of glass. While his earlier work recorded a personal narrative of trans-location through reverse paintings onto glass panels, which were later rolled into cylinder vessels, today he expands those techniques working across glass painting, fusing, blowing and large scale installation.
The development in his work has been documented across a number of international magazines and exhibitions, including the Pergamon Museum in Berlin (Germany); Eisch Gallery, Frauenau (Germany, 2012, Musee Atelier du Verre, Sars-Poteries (France), and the major exhibition LACUNA with European Museum of Modern Glass, Coburg (Germany, 2010).
Most recently Scott was a finalist in the prestigous Loewe Craft Prize (2025) and the MAKE Design Award (2025). He was a recipient of the Willoughby Bequest 2020 Commissioning Program (Powerhouse Museum), and was awarded the 2017 Hindmarsh Glass Prize (Australia), the 2004 Ranamok Glass Prize; and the 2002 Bavarian State Prize Gold Medal, Germany.
Recent solo exhibitions include Sevenmarks (NSW, 2024), Sculpture by the Seas, Bondi (2022). Canberra Glassworks (2020), The Glass Furnace, Istanbul (Turkey, 2016), Southern Illinois University Gallery, Carbondale (USA, 2016) and Leo Kaplan Modern, New York, where he was represented for several years before the gallery closed.
In 2007 he was the Levehulme Research Fellow at University of Sunderland (UK), and was Director of Parkhaus Art Space, Berlin (2009-2010) and Artistic Director, Berlin Glas Germany (2011-2012). Chaseling holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Glass, Canberra School of Art, Australian National University, and has taught specialised workshops with Pilchuck Glass School Seattle (USA), Vetroricerca, Bolzano (Italy), Tokyo Glass Institute (Japan), at the Corning Museum of Glass (USA), Jam Factory Craft and Design and Canberra Glassworks (Australia), among others.
Chaseling’s work is represented in collections internationally, among them the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art (Japan), and Museum Kunst Palast, Dusseldorf (Germany), Palm Springs Museum California (USA); Ernsting Stiftung Germany, as well as the National Gallery of Australia, Queensland Art Gallery / Gallery of Modern Art (Brisbane), and the Australian National Glass Collection, Wagga Wagga Art Gallery.
