Vase II by Jonathan Hansen
12 Editions + 1 AP
Dimensions: 35 x 37 x H 102 cm
Materials: Calacatta Marble
SERIES I CAPTUM BIOMORFE is a group of nine sculpture works created by New York artist Jonathan Hansen. Captum is a seized or captured thing, and biomorfe is the Italian form of biomorph, or life shape. The Series is a sculptural exploration of the concepts of captivity and freedom with the central reference point of second century Roman sculpture of the human body. These idealized human topographies, or morphologies, have been abstracted and mapped across the surfaces of solid marble furniture objects. Over the top of the sculpted morphologies sits a layer of cast transparent industrialized resin. The peaks and valleys of the biomorphic surfaces can be seen in varying degrees of clarity, depending on how light meets the resin or at what angle the pieces are viewed. There is a tension between the biomorphic undulation and the material that captures it. This tension creates a perception of frozen movement . . . a coexistence of captivity and freedom. The tables sit on architectural bronze columns suggesting the externally visible structures that hold fragments of ancient sculpture, which together create a sense of flotation. The three biomorphic vases and lamp are free from the captum and sit in contrast to the furniture pieces. The formal quality of the marble juxtaposes with the personal and intimate quality of the human topography.
Jonathan Hansen has been designing and fabricating furniture and objects since 2001. He has created collections for Ralph Rucci, Thom Browne, Baccarat, Samsonite, Lisa Perry, Aerin Lauder, L’Objet, Fortuny, and Peugeot, as well as individual objects for collectors. Jonathan’s work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Vogue, The New York Times, Surface, Harper’s Bazaar, Wallpaper, and Vogue Germany. Born in the United States, Jonathan grew up in Canada, England, and Singapore. He studied eighteenth and nineteenth-century furniture at the North Bennet Street School in Boston. The foundation of this classically focused program and craftsman training continues to inform the contemporary trajectory on which his work is concentrated. Jonathan has partnered with the Milan-based factory owner Antonio Rillosi, whose specialization in high quality fabrication in stone and metal were a natural compliment for the production of the Series, whose point of departure was classical Roman sculpture.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
