“TIMELESS TRIPTYCH IS AN EXHIBITION BRINGING TOGETHER A STATUE, LAMP AND FLOOR, EXPLORING HOW HISTORY CAN BECOME A SOURCE OF CONTEMPORARY INVENTION.

THE WORKS DRAW ON HISTORICAL INFLUENCES, GLOBAL CULTURES, PERIODS AND STYLES, REINTERPRETING FAMILIAR FORMS THROUGH A CONTEMPORARY ARTISTIC LANGUAGE. HAND-CRAFTED IN ITALY FROM ROCK CRYSTAL, MARBLE AND ONYX, EACH PIECE BRINGS TOGETHER CULTURAL HERITAGE, PRECIOUS MATERIALS AND CONTEMPORARY CRAFTSMANSHIP.

THE EXHIBITION EXPLORES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HERITAGE AND PROGRESS – HOW IDEAS, FORMS AND TRADITIONS FROM THE PAST CAN BE REIMAGINED TO CREATE SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW.”
