From May 19, 2022, Carpenters Workshop Gallery presents in our Parisian space the second part of our "New Guard" series, an exhibition of newly commissioned works by six exceptional emerging artist-designers, this time all based in Europe.
 
This group show is intended to offer a glimpse of the new voices in contemporary design in Europe by presenting works by Bea Bonafini, Paul Créange, Luke Fuller, Léa Mestres, Marcin Rusak and Sylvain Rieu-Piquet.
The New Guard series is part of Carpenters Workshop Gallery's ongoing Next Generation initiative to support emerging talent. The exhibition brings together practices, approaches, materials and aesthetics, thus providing elements of reflection on contemporary creation.
 
Bea Bonafini's magical sculptures and textiles explore the relationship of the work to its space and to its public, when the colored lamps of Léa Mestres question the process of creation by emancipating itself from the established rules. Luke Fuller’s ceramics, with abstract and organic forms, are of a radically different aesthetic, but also question the process of creation, or rather of production, of industrial societies. Finally, the flower furniture of Marcin Rusak and the sculptures of Paul Créange explore new sources of inspirations and forms of creation from elements already overexploited: nature and photography. Each of the artists presented, through a unique and personal practice, explores a new vector of creation.
 
The meeting of these emerging European artists presents a remarkable panorama of works and concerns of contemporary design. The universes, all different, question and answer each other to gradually bring out new forms of creation.
 
The goal is not to present the finished product of this new generation of designers, but to expose the elaboration of it. This overview of the paths taken by the contemporary creation allows to better seize the stakes of it, and to glimpse a little better the contributions that this young generation will bring to the field of art and design.
 
Carpenters Workshop Gallery is proud to support these talents and to open the way to their future. It thus reaffirms its vocation to promote innovation and contemporary design throughout the world.
