Chattanooga to Host Inna Beker’s “Nature in Glass” Exhibition in August
Inna Beker’s exhibition, “Nature in Glass,” will open at In-Town Gallery in Chattanooga this August, showcasing her unique kiln-fired fusible glass art. The opening reception is scheduled for Friday from 5-8 p.m., providing visitors an opportunity to meet the artist and explore her vibrant creations.
Beker’s artwork expresses her love for the natural world, encapsulating its beauty through luminous glass forms. She finds fascination in the way glass can change shape and color during the firing process, which adds a dynamic aspect to her pieces. The centerpiece of this exhibition draws inspiration from Vincent van Gogh’s iconic “Sunflowers,” reflecting both the artist’s upbringing and artistic influences.
Growing up in Ukraine, Beker was surrounded by fields of sunflowers, which have deeply influenced her work. Her admiration for nature was further cultivated through countless hours hiking across Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, fostering a profound appreciation for the environment. Seven years ago, she discovered the medium of fused glass art, which has since transformed into her passion and the primary focus of her artistic career.
Beker’s artworks have gained recognition, having been displayed across various states, including Georgia, Florida, Virginia, and New Mexico. This upcoming exhibition at In-Town Gallery marks another milestone in her artistic journey and offers local art enthusiasts an opportunity to experience her creative vision firsthand.
