ABOUT THE EXHIBITIONS:
Year of the Horse by Costa Christ
Year of the Horse marks a bold evolution in Costa Christ's practice as he explores new sculptural surfaces through the use of genuine Ferrari hoods and RIMOWA luggage. Know for his ability to merge luxury iconography with contemporary expression, Costa transforms these instantly recognizable objects into striking works of art.
In this exhibition, the Ferrari hood becomes the canvas of power and velocity, which RIMOWA luggage reimagine travel and experience. Each piece invites viewers to reconsider the relationship between craftsmanship, material, and meaning.
Year of the Horse speaks to momentum, progress, and endurance-- capturing a spirit of forward motion that is both personal and universal while pushing the boundaries of what defines a contemporary art surface.
Atmospheric Impressions: A Retrospective by Christopher Martin
Christopher Martin revisits the defining moments of this career through a new lens of scale and accessibility. In this collection, Martin presents large-format reproductions of some of his most iconic original paintings.
By translating these compositions into print form and amplifying their scale, each piece takes on a renewed presence. Subtle texture, atmospheric gradiants, and expressive gestures are brough forward, offering viewers the opportunity to engage more intimately with works that hae defined Martin's visual language.
This exhibition not only celebrate the legacy of the original paintings, but also expands their reach-- bridging past and present through thoughtful reproduction.
