Functional Art Planters 'Mnetonimic Pneumatophres ii' by Touche-Touche

About the Item

Contemporary planters / plant, touche-touche, France, 2020. Mnetonimic Pneumatophres II is a contemporary functional art object created by the duo touche-touche. The one of a kind item was part of the solo exhibition in Everyday Gallery named 'Softalism'. The exhibition’s title is a neologism that invites the invention of a concept that may emphasize the sensual relation we form with our surroundings. touche—touche will make us explore the confines of one of the most sacred of places: the bedroom. Carolin Gieszner (1989, DE) and Théo Demans (1992, FR) work and live together as the couple duo touche—touche. They developed a hybrid creation process by placing their work in the scenographic realm as much as the curatorial practice and that of functional installations. Moving from the museum to the theatre world, designing night clubs or a recording studio to immersive cinema rooms and galleries they are implementing their practice through a collaborative journey. The evasive practice of touche—touche, transports the viewer to an Empire of dreamlike experience and tactile illusions. Melting tiles, soft rocks, absurd gravity, and abstract sciences are some of the matters they employ: simulated textures and artificiality give the viewer a highlighted awareness of touch and redirect objects into a mental image. Senses are played with and pragmatic interaction slowly resides to a secondary position. Each imagined scene is a reinterpretation of existing cultural traditions. Manufactured in intricate detail, using contemporary materials and techniques, they create new fiction for daily scenarios. Their environments are a free fall intangible reality.

  • Achromatic Fold in White II, a Parian Porcelain Vessel by Steven Edwards
    By Steven Edwards
    Located in London, GB
    'Achromatic Fold in White II' is a unique sculpture by the British artist Steven Edwards, created from parian porcelain. Steven Edwards is a ceramic artist whose work investigates the language of making through the materiality and physicality of clay. Fascinated by process-led making, he uses traditional techniques that provoke unanticipated outcomes, using clay as a medium that sustains the narrative of the making process. The resulting forms embody his interaction and manipulation of the clay using bespoke tools to explore the intrinsic properties of the material. His creative practice starts by purposely placing clay under stress to reveal the natural tension and movement in its surface and form. Throughout the whole making process, he pushes, pulls, compresses and slices the material to provoke a reaction. The final forms are a combination of these making scenarios, translating a theme of duality in their appearance – the contrast of visual distortion and precision, the stillness and movement in form and the surface deception between synthetic and natural. Whilst challenging and pushing his material to the limits, often using clay bodies in ways they are not designed for, Edwards purposely exploits unexpected outcomes. Creating a sense of unease, during the making his clay cracks and buckles, resulting in permanent scars that illustrate the extremes that have been asked of it. Purely aesthetic, these fissures within the surface are an important counter point to the idealised sugary-hued confectionery layered rings. Edwards has exhibited his work at premiere contemporary design and craft shows including British Ceramics...

  • Shore II, a Blue, Purple, Brown and Mixed Colored Glass Vase by Bethany Wood
    By Bethany Wood
    Located in London, GB
    'Shore II' is a unique glass vase from the Molten Landscapes Collection by the British artist Bethany Wood. An equal passion for painting physically inspires how she controls and manipulates her glass. Recreating the fleeting nature of brush strokes, Wood’s molten colors traverse across the surface of her glass canvases blending in a myriad of hues. Unlike their flat painterly counterparts, these combine and merge, forming spontaneous watery and lava like abstract relief flourishes. Taking inspiration from a wide range of sources, Wood’s influences are taken directly from the world around us, elements of the inner-city sit alongside expansive landscapes. Reoccurring themes are Graffiti & Urban Culture, exploration & travel. In the artist's own words; "As a multidisciplinary artist, I have begun to merge my two artistic passions, painting and Glassmaking. I like to express myself with the fluidity of the material. The Directional arrangement of a color palette can form the depth of an abstract Landscape. I use my own paintings as a reference whilst making in the hot shop. Each individual artwork from my series has been inspired by a specific place. Serendipity of abstraction has always been an inspiration for me; the coincidental elements which catch the eye of the viewer. The palette, composition and depth I have attained are taken from nature, with a bold but elegant swipe of my own personal, Expressionist style" Rising glass star, Wood graduated from De Montfort University in 2014 with a degree in Design Crafts, specializing in hot glass. Now based just outside London, she creates her own unique art works and also collaborates with fellow glass artist, Elliot Walker. The artwork is shown paired with Shore I, H 24.5 cm W 17 cm D 8 cm, £1000. Also in the image of three with Naples II, H 41 cm W 27 cm D 12 cm, £2000 and Night Drive...
