If you’re in Paris this month, make time to go see Wendell’s work in Carpenters Workshop Gallery’s booth at la Biennale des Antiquaires. The exhibition runs form September 11th through the 21st, 2014 at the Grand Palais.  Check out the info below courtesy of  The Art and Culture Communication Agency.
For its second participation in la Biennale des Antiquaires, Carpenters Workshop Gallery will present on its booth unique artworks by American designer Wendell Castle and paintings by American artist David Smith, showcased within a scenography by French artist Ingrid Donat.
The hybrid shapes created by Wendell Castle seem to be a real challenge to any categorization. The organic and voluminous curves, appearing to grow from the ground are both welcoming and intriguing. The artist incorporates more and more complex volumes, in a process of accumulation which reveals itself through wide and multidimensional entities.
Most of Wendell Castle’s works presented at this 27th edition of la Biennale des Antiquaires are unseen, and were made especially on the occasion of this prestigious event.
The scenography conceived by Ingrid Donat to be like a sculpted wood and metal jewelry case, welcomes Wendell Castle’s unique artworks to highlight the work Carpenters Workshop Gallery executes, transcending classic categorizations in terms of art and design. The gallery’s proposals stand precisely at the crossroads of both universes.
In order to enrich this dialogue, a selection of works from the final creation period of American artist David Smith will be also presented on the booth. His enamel painting technique produces sculptural negative forms on the paper, which illustrates his ongoing effort to confront his two favorite mediums. His aerial vision with sombre shades, respond perfectly to Wendell Castle and Ingrid Donat’s artworks.
