Mosaic Tile Chandelier

Mosaic Tile Chandelier Hangs Tough with LATICRETE Products 

Paul Pearman is an accomplished mosaic artist, who works out of his studio in Augusta, Georgia. Known for his attention to detail and also for using the tiniest of mosaic tiles within his creations, Pearman’s projects can range in size from miniscule to mammoth. 

“From small projects such as mosaic designs on belt buckles to immense projects such as three-dimensional mosaic-clad hanging chandeliers, I want my artwork to be of the highest quality. And, I want the designs I create to last for generations. That’s why I depend on the LATICRETE System. There is no other product line which offers mosaic tiles the bonding strength of LATICRETE materials.” - Paul Pearman.

The foundation of the actual sculpture was built of steel, and was then covered with carved foam and fiberglass materials. Thousands upon thousands of pieces of reflective glass and metal, some extremely minute, were cut with tiny nippers and then bonded via LATICRETE materials to the structure’s “body,” all by hand. Click here to read the full Project Spotlight.

Incredible Mosaic Chandelier

Since yesterday's blog post was about a mosaic, I felt like sticking to a theme for today.

Paul Pearman is an incredible mosaic artist based in the United States. He frequently uses the tiniest of mosaic tiles for his projects that can range in size from extremely small to extremely monumental. An incredible masterpiece recently created by Pearman is a sculpted chandelier, displayed in the lobby at Georgia Health Sciences University's new College of Dental Medicine.

Taking nine months to build and an incredible team, this masterpiece was documented by two film documentaries chronicling the entire process.

The final masterpiece suspended in the lobby. The sculpture is almost 9 meters tall from top to bottom with its lowest point less than 3 meters from the floor.

At the lowest level of the multi-tiered sculpture is a teardrop pendant containing a clock.

Pearman's inspiration for this work? The famous Salvador Dali painting, Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of a New Man. This project used LATICRETE materials. According to Pearman, he was adamant in his decision to only use installation materials produced by LATICRETE. Pearman mentioned that he used LATICRETE SpectraLOCK PRO Grout as both the adhesive and the grout, which is very uncommon, unless the project is unique and requires this specific method.
