One-of-a-Kind Reflection Hologram Composites 

By Nancy Gorglione 

Reflection Hologram Composites are unique compositions of multicolored reflection holograms on glass plates. The individual holograms are arranged together to form overall scenes of great depth and beauty.

These composited windows into the holographic world are created by Nancy Gorglione through careful thought and planning. She originates the holograms by creating multiple holographic masters of the initial subjects. These master images are often derived from her original sculpture and artwork. The holographic masters are then transferred by the artist to image-plane reflection holograms, which are arranged together to compose the completed art pieces.

The finished Reflection Hologram Composites present an integrated picture designed to tell a story. The flow of the three-dimensional imagery from hologram to hologram is created for maximum interplay between objects, varying dimensions and deep space. Lush with exotic colors, these holograms capture rhythmical patterns of light, texture and form in compositions akin to music.

The artist is currently attempting to place her One-of-a-Kind Holograms in museums, institutions and major collections.

These one-of-a-kind artworks create scenes of lasting sensory appeal.

Quite large for holographic art, Nancy Gorglione's composite holograms are fine arts' pieces for the serious holographic collector and exhibitor. They are in private collections and museums worldwide.

The individual holograms within the composites represent the finest in holographic technology, and are carefully designed for a wide angle of view from a single illumination light. The glass holograms are mounted together onto a specially prepared backing and attractively framed. The processes involved are difficult and time consuming; the artist is able to produce only a very limited quantity of unique hologram composites. Their originality, command of the media, and intrinsic beauty mark them as interesting investments of accruing visual interest.

These holograms are available with lighting, ready for installation.

Reclining Nude

 

The reclining nude represents the  element of Fire, while a projecting Pegasus represents Air. A sense of holographic motion of air flows through the piece.  18"X33"

 

 

The River

The flow of a river is presented in lush blues and turquoise imagery. Faces float by the viewer, or are submerged under holographic water.  The colors of this holographic compositeare extremely difficult to achieve within the holographic media.  33"X41"

The Border and background page pictures are close-ups from The River.

City Lights

The light and form of a city in juxtaposing angles of holograms. The holograms picture city views, while their carefully cut, outer, glass edges form fun perspectives of buildings. 18"X!8"

Sexus

An abstract expressionist holographic composite presents the abstraction of a woman, adorned with flowers. She's laughing at some obvious archetypal icons representing a man. This is a really strong piece aesthetically, inviting a tactile visceral response.  23"X21"

  nightmare_s.fin.JPG (230810 bytes)

Nightmare (One & Two)

This composite was motivated by despair at the Oil Wars in the Mid East. The demise of civilizations brought about by warfare states, Ancient Rome, Egypt, Greece, is reflected within the nightmare imagery. The architectural projections of shadowed columns represent the beauty and achievement of the heights of civilization. The horse skulls recollect Picasso's Guernica.

This is a huge piece for reflection holography, all clearly visible to the viewer. Incredible metallic colors. Poetry written holographically presages Gorglione's later involvement in poetry and fiction: On the wings of dreams the soul takes flight. Mortal man prefers to fight.  31"X76" (31"X38" each piece)

 

 

 

Journey 

This reflection hologram pictures a projecting central  knight in armor with sword outstretched.  The surrounding images tell the multidimensional story of the knight's journey to enlightenment. War is represented by a projecting cannon. A Tibetan mask of Mahakala, an important protective deity, scowls at the viewer. Above the knight, ladders float aloft blue mountains into space, representing the steps to enlightenment. An ivy covered door symbolizes the knight's free will. Beside the door, winter trees grow to obscure old bones, denoting the soul's cycles of birth, death and rebirth. A glittering waterfall behind snow covered trees portrays the beauty and force of nature. 36"X48"

yogs first adventure.fin.JPG (149009 bytes)

Yog's First Adventure

The spaceman Yog's first adventure on planet Earth, surrounded by Medusa's snakes, planets, starfields and fragmented human's faces. Reflection holograms, shadow gram holograms, and diffraction grating holograms combine. 16"X20""

 

 

 

All of Flesh is Flowers 

The geometric shapes of cut holograms appear to be three dimensional, Within each cut hologram, true three-dimensional imagery includes pulsed holographic images of a reclining nude juxtaposed amongst grass and flowers. Very sensual 3-Dimensional cubist cut-hologram piece, unique. 9"X11"

Magic Carpet

Like X-ray diffraction patterns, the moirés formed in these colorful kinetic holograms change colors as the moires overlap. A significant earlier composite by the artist.

 

 

 

 

Tactile

The viewer is invited to experience the sense of holographic touch through the interplay of kinetic paisley patterns, cacti and velvety roses in this highly diffractive piece. A pioneer piece that was a forerunner to holographic diffraction foils. 21"X21"

Muybridge's Racehorse, Right

Moire' patterns and color changes add kinetic movement to the depth of this piece. Edition of six, a few seconds remain.
