Thoscene - Deceptive Realities
Located in Coral Gables, FL
Artist John Brevard's Thought-Provoking Sculpture Series Unveiled During Art Basel in Miami 2023 — Designer John Brevard and digital artist Trippy present "Thoscene-Deceptive Realities," a thought-provoking art installation crafted from recycled steel. This creation challenges societal divisions, acting as a mirror to reveal the theatrical nature of political discourse. Brevard's unique fractal design captures the complexities of human experience, encouraging viewers to look beyond surface appearances and reconsider interactions with divisive narratives. "Thoscene" symbolizes the fleeting nature of political stories, urging a more unified understanding of our collective psyche. This installation invites audiences to contemplate the illusions within political discourse and reevaluate narratives shaping perspectives. "Thoscene-Deceptive Realities" highlights the transformative power of art in challenging societal norms and fostering a harmonious collective consciousness. The installation will soon head to Korea. The outside finish can be in different styles: recycled grey steel, off-white, or wabi-sabi with raw, unglazed, and untreated clay. About John Brevard John Brevard is an American architectural designer and artist who draws inspiration from the principles of natural order. After a near-death experience at the age of 14, Brevard developed a fascination with fractals, sacred geometry, biomimicry, and the subtle energies of spaces. This curiosity propelled him on a research journey that has significantly influenced his design practice and philosophy. Brevard is a global speaker and member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). About Trippy Labs / @trippy Trippy, a digital artist and founder of Trippy Labs, commands a vast following in the digital art scene with 1.4 million Instagram followers. His studio, Trippy Labs, is deeply engaged in the crypto art...

Jim Rose Barn House Structure, Welded Steel Object Made with Salvaged Steel
Located in Chicago, IL
This is a welded steel sculpture made by furniture creator Jim Rose. It is sustainable design created from salvaged and recycled steel panels left over from his larger projects. These sculptures reference traditional American Folk Art barn house models or bird houses. This sculpture works alone on a shelf or table or can be grouped with other house sculptures by the artist. Each house sculpture is unique in design and color. Jim Rose Structure #168 found steel with natural rust patina and paint 6h x 4.50w x 2.50d in 15.24h x 11.43w x 6.35d cm Jim Rose b. 1966 Bio Born in Indiana, Jim Rose lived in Europe until he returned to the United States to attend college. After one year at Bard College, Jim transferred to the School of the Art Institute in Chicago (SAIC) where he graduated in 1988 with a BFA. His skillful interpretation of the Shaker design is a result of intense research and field study of Shaker furniture, architecture, culture and history. After over two decades of dedicated work, he has mastered the minimalism of the Shaker technique and created his own unique visual vernacular. The quilts of Gee's Bend have become a monumental influence taking this artist's work to new levels of unique interpretation and artistry. His selection of aged steel results in a patina directly related to that of aged wood while his colored strips beautifully mimic worn cloth. Each piece of furniture is masterfully made and intended for daily use. Jim Rose’s steel furniture is featured every year at SOFA Chicago for the past 25 years.
