LONDON.- David Gill Gallery announced ‘Rebuilding Reason’.
Continuing an exploration of antiquity, Errazuriz creates works that explore eternal notions of human experience, scale and proportion. Abstracting ancient sculptures, Errazuriz reevaluates our relationship to immediately recognisable cannons of art, blurring boundaries between technology, design and craft.
Sculptures that once adorned archaeological sites now serve as structural elements for everyday objects. Figures from classical friezes morph into table bases and shelf supports, while curated artifacts are integrated into furniture. This act of appropriation and transformation brings a new narrative to traditional forms and creates a dialogue between the monumental and the intimate.
Sebastian Errazuriz is a Chilean-born, New York-based Artist, Designer. He received international acclaim for his original and provocative works on a variety of disciplines. Blurring the boundaries between art, tech, design and craft his works are acquired by art collectors and museums worldwide.
Errazuriz became, at the age of 28, only the second living South American artist to have work auctioned at Sotheby’s Important Twentieth Century Design auction. In 2015 Errazuriz was invited by Times Square Arts to present his public art installation “A Pause in the City that Never Sleeps” on 50 giant screens in Times Square.
