\"Two<\/a>
English artist Tom Price<\/a>\u2019s Counterpart<\/a><\/em> was originally commissioned for an exhibition at Chatsworth House<\/a>, in the UK. It\u2019s seen here in the estate\u2019s chapel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a mystery to English artist Tom Price<\/a>\u2019s monumental benches that incites the imagination. On the one hand, they could be ancient relics, designed as a tribute to the celestial wonders of night and day. On the other, they look like the futuristic emblems of an advanced world, hewn from some kind of magical space rock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Counterpart<\/a>,<\/em> which comprises two monolithic blocks \u2014 one crafted from coal, the other from resin<\/a> with embedded LED lights \u2014 was originally created for a 2015 exhibition called \u201cMake Yourself Comfortable,\u201d centered on concepts of contemporary seating<\/a> and held at Chatsworth House<\/a>, a sprawling English estate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chatsworth, the historic abode of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire<\/a>, is considered one of the most beautiful and stately homes in the UK, known for its lavish art collection combining historic artifacts with modern-day treasures<\/a>. Price conceived his benches for Chatsworth\u2019s 17th-century chapel, home to a Baroque<\/a> alabaster altarpiece and Damien Hirst<\/a>\u2019s gold sculpture Saint Bartholomew, Exquisite Pain<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"A<\/a>
Counterpart<\/em> consists of two benches \u2014 one made of coal …<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

For this commission, Price drew inspiration from the family\u2019s rich history. \u201cI learned about the [18th-century] coal mines owned by the family and was then introduced to the mineral<\/a> collection started by the duchess Georgiana in the 19th century,\u201d he says. \u201cSuddenly everything clicked.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benches present a fascinating set of juxtapositions. \u201cThe title Counterpart<\/em> refers both to the physical and aesthetic contrasts of the two materials \u2014 one dense and almost light absorbing, the other translucent and glowing \u2014 and also the dual role the pieces serve as sculpture, when viewed from afar, and as functional objects, when sat on,\u201d notes the artist, who makes all his pieces by hand in his studio in Mallorca, Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe sculptures are also intended to honor the role of the humble plinth by questioning the perceived hierarchies between art, nature and function,\u201d he says. \u201cThroughout Chatsworth House, there are many sculptures that sit on beautiful polished blocks of natural stone. I was frequently much more blown away by the natural beauty of these plinths than by the art that sat on them. In a similar way, the blocks I made for the chapel can be considered plinths. They are functional objects. On their own in the space, they demand attention, but when someone sits on them, the person becomes the object of prime importance, and the blocks assume a secondary, supporting role.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"A<\/a>
… and the other made of resin lit from within by LEDs.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Price has described his practice as \u201cworking in collaboration with materials,\u201d and Counterpart<\/em> is a true testament to his investigative approach. In fact, the processes he explored in this piece sound positively alchemical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe coal bench is made by mixing ground anthracite coal with a binder and then pasting it into a mold in the shape of the bench,\u201d he explains. \u201cThis forms a hollow shell, which is then reinforced with acrylicized plaster and a timber armature. When it is removed from the mold, there is a certain amount of finishing and retouching that happens. The coal is sanded and then sealed with natural wood oils. The finished surface is surprisingly smooth and tactile. People often worry that, being coal, it will leave black marks on clothing, but the surface is actually very inert, like stone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs for the resin,\u201d he continues, \u201cI discovered that it was far more exciting when it was \u2018misused\u2019 and forced to crack internally.\u201d Keen to explore a more colorful and luminous palette, Price added tar for a surprising marbled effect. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"A<\/a>
Price added tar to the resin, which created a marbled effect.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cResin generates a lot of heat when it is curing, so I was curious to see if it would be enough to melt the tar, and if so, what would happen,\u201d he recounts. \u201cAmazingly, the two materials reacted incredibly well together. The heat generated by the exothermic reaction was just enough to liquify the tar, which then started to travel through the cracks that were opening up in the resin. In the process, it exposed a panoply of incredibly rich jade and turquoise hues in the tar that are completely hidden when looking at the raw material. It was one of those exciting eureka moments.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sonia Rameau of Parisian gallery Artistics<\/a>, which is offering Counterpart<\/em> on 1stDibs, Price\u2019s genius lies in his ability to create works with a compelling presence. \u201cYou can see Tom\u2019s pieces every day, and each time, you\u2019ll discover new details,\u201d she marvels. \u201cThey preserve their mystery, their beauty and their power to fascinate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t

Alexandra Zagalsky is a London-based journalist specializing in luxury topics, art and travel content. She began her journalistic career in Paris, where she worked on a cultural guide for English-speaking expats. Her first big break was an interview with Lionel Poil\u00e2ne, the late, venerable baker from Paris\u2019s Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s district who popularized the two-kilogram sourdough loaf and once made a bread chandelier for Salvador Dal\u00ed<\/a>.

Zagalsky moved back to London in her early 20s and has since worked with a number of august publications, including the Week<\/em>, the Telegraph<\/em>, the Times<\/em> and a variety of art and design outlets, such as Introspective<\/em><\/a> and V&A<\/em>, Sotheby\u2019s<\/em> and Christie\u2019s<\/em> magazines. She studied fine art and the history of art at Goldsmiths, University of London, and continues to explore the contemporary art scene, including the world of NFTs.

She has written extensively on the subject of vintage watches<\/a> and describes the Cartier<\/a> Crash as her favorite timepiece. \u201cIt\u2019s a great emblem of the Swinging Sixties and an adaptation of the house\u2019s classic Baignoire<\/a> Allong\u00e9e wristwatch, its sinuous Daliesque style apparently inspired by a model brought into the London Cartier workshop that had been distorted in a car crash,\u201d she says. \u201cI love it for all sorts of reasons, not least because it\u2019s so unconventional and daring, as all great design objects often are.\u201d
