Cinétisme Wall Light II
About the Item
French-Lebanese Charles Kalpakian chiseled geometric lines are the signature of his innovative approach, fusing his Oriental roots and his knowledge of design and the decorative arts. These influences take shape through the reinterpretation of classical patterns, historical forms and archetypal motifs, filtered by a resolute contemporary culture.
Charles Kalpakian has a rare gift for subtly incorporating personal biography into his art, deliberately focusing on certain geographical features and transforming them into powerful decorative tools. His work is distinguished by the mix of traditional French techniques (particularly marquetry) and by his use of a native Oriental identity, as well as a fresh take on the tradition of metalworking. The stroke is always clean, even if the gesture resembles calligraphy in space.
Incarnating the notion of Retrofuturism, the ‘Cinétisme’ wall light is a hypnotic piece flirting with Op’Art and Vasarely’s spirit. This handcrafted, sculptural wall light play on the contrasts and complementarities between four aluminium finishes: brushed, hammered, guilloché, and lacquered. Twenty LEDs lamps are embedded in the aluminium three-dimensional panels, creating areas of light and shadow as well as the illusion of undulating movement, and transforming the calligraphic method of the decorative arts into work that is as functional as it is artistic.
