The convergence of three artistic practices centered on repetition, movement, and symbolism within distinct value systems. Showcased in a limited exhibition space at a meticulously restored historic French Art Deco apartment by GLB Properties. Exclusive of Rhett Baruch Gallery’s ongoing art and design curation in collaboration with Ivana Rose. An expansive and vibrant program featuring over 15 newly completed works rendered in acrylic, oil and porcelain mediums. All three artists infuse their work with elements of luxury and repetition, albeit in distinct ways that reflect their individual perspectives and artistic processes. Their works not only engage with historical and contemporary notions of value but also invite viewers to contemplate the role of repetition in shaping our perceptions of art, craftsmanship, and cultural identity
Atelier Fig is an Amsterdam based studio headed by Ruben Hoogvliet and Gijs Wouters. They construct highly intricate porcelain chainlink systems to form gravity defying movement in their sculptural bowls. Porcelain, known for its historical association with luxury and refinement, underscores their commitment to craftsmanship and materiality. The aesthetic experience creates awareness of the tactility and transformation within the creative process and shows what often remains unexposed. Bonnie Morano is a painter from New York whose work explores organic and geometric form affected by symmetry and repetition, a way to emulate the meticulous craftsmanship seen in luxury goods. This acts as the vehicle for compositions that are highly organized and structured as a metaphor of order, stability and hierarchy. Her color palette references precious metals, gems and textiles to invoke a visual elevation associated with value, mystery, bounty and the divine. French painter Stanislas Piechaczek brings to his canvas a distinct, fresh conversation scattered between figuration and abstraction. His characters, often depicted in uniform, integrate elements reminiscent of Australian marine life, palm trees, tropical fruits and fake ADIDAS track suits, portraying contemporary life in perpetual motion. A practice challenging conventional notions of luxury by integrating elements of contemporary culture and consumerism into his paintings
