About
Alexander Lozano, also known as Cardoza, is an artist and glassblower who uses participatory art to bring attention to interpersonal relationships between people, objects and their environments that usually go unseen in a mundane life cycle. Cardoza first began working in participatory art when he created his own type of flexible glass that allowed the audience to sew, fold, cut, and write on it in effort to manipulate the work. He was born and raised in West Texas before moving to the DFW area to attend the University of Texas at Arlington where he will receive his Bachelors in Fine Art with a focus in glass. Recently, he has been exhibited at the Toyama International Glass Exhibition(Toyama Glass Art Museum), 2018 Craft Glass Creation & Design (Finalist, People’s Republic of China), Glass Art Society International Member Exhibition (Third Place: Murano, Italy), Workhouse Glass National 2018 (Lorton, Virginia), Spring Gallery Night Juried Exhibit (FWCAC,Fort Worth,TX).
