| Artlamp's contemporary oil lamps
are
often referred to as unique and unusual works of functional
art. This site includes all Artlamp's creative oil lamps that have been designed from concept to
completion by David G. Schneider, architect since 1995. A
brilliant oil lamp to add to your collectibles or for that special holiday, for yourself or as a gift. If you enjoy beautifully hand made contemporary art, that can serve as both a work of art and a utility lamp, Artlamp provides the contemporary oil lamp that may appeal to you. One of Artlamp's newest contemporary oil lamps (The Pyramid) are adjustable. Each element can be moved and adjusted to your preference, to create the atmosphere you desire by easily adjusting the flame height. Adjusting the flame without extinguishing the flame, allows the lamp to provide the most light using the least amount of fuel. Artlamp's contemporary oil lamps, although hand made are so precisely made that one can not differentiate them from being machine made. The uses of various materials and configurations make them unique from the routine production item. Each contemporary oil lamp is signed by the artist.
Born out of a desire to study the wicking
capability of a wick to create a tall From this study, the best wicks were found, the optimum length of
wick for the use of burning pure lamp oil as a fuel are attributes of
Artlamp's contemporary oil lamps. The best fuel (Ultra Pure) made by
Lamplight Farms. The most innovated aspect of the pyramid oil lamp is that it is safe to handle when lit. Not one exposed part of Artlamp's pyramid oil lamp is hot to the touch when lit, making it a great option for public use and or at home around children and pets, with adult supervision. This aspect allows for easy and fast maintenance. The Pyramid contemporary oil lamp contains only two glass elements; the shade or chimney and the glass stopper for the reservoir. This shade is strong, heat resistant and exceeds the glass thickness of other traditional oil lamp shades. Replacement shades can be purchased as an accessory in Artlamp Accessories. |

Artlamp's Schneider Contemporary Oil Lamp
by: David G. Schneider
| The above contemporary was influenced by both
the Bauhaus and DeStijl. Theo van Doesburg, a member of the
DeStijl movement introduced the diagonal
element and justified it in theoretical statements, as the diagonal
being dynamic and not static. The theory was not a betrayal of the
earlier principles of the horizontal- vertical , as seen in Mondrian's
paintings, but an intelligent development of it which was already
foreshadowed in 1918 in Rietveld's red blue chair. Mondrian
left DeStijl when van Doesburg introduced the diagonal element.
DeStijl was a loosely formed organization of artist and architects. The diagonal violates the horizontal and vertical, it is dynamic as it violates the ground plane as it becomes a major element in its composition. Artlamp's theory is to search for relationships in the composition of materials in reference to contemporary oil lamps. These relationships are visible in Artlamp's work. There was a constant insistence in the writings of the DeStijl artists on relations rather than things. Although the work of Kandinsky was beyond abstraction it was Theo van Doesburg who utilized the diagonal in his paintings. |

Artlamp.org donates half its profits to the Kentucky Fund for the Arts.
The purpose of this web site is to promote the Arts in Kentucky and
to visually
inspire others to reach a higher
quality of work and trigger thoughts or ideas from the subconscious to a conscious verbal
and or a conscious visual level. "It is this work that I am hoping you will enjoy as pleasing to the eye, showing a sense of balance, harmony and beauty that are usually not portrayed in other contemporary oil lamps. The perception of beauty is subconsciously and visually seen in the relationships in these contemporary oil lamps. Since Artlamp's oil lamps are a hybrid of materials, one element does not stand out above the others but stands freely in space as a whole." |
