Stained Glass Art by Basketball Sculptor Victor Solomon

San Francisco based artist, Victor Solomon is famous for his work in stained glass and creating incredible basketball inspired sculptures in luxurious materials. Historically, stained glass was reserved for religious purposes and royalty, which makes Solomon’s use of the technique so unconventional.

Growing up on the streets of Boston, Solomon was surrounded by basketball culture. For most boys in the projects, high profile players were seen as role models or even gods and the court was their church. Basketball gave them hope for a better future and so they practiced every single day to become as good as their heroes. This almost religious dedication to sport fascinated Solomon, inspiring him to clash the two worlds in works of art.
