About the Item
Portal by Pepe Valenti
Dimensions: D 110 x H 240 cm.
Materials: Chrome-plated stainless steel, acrylic.
A door to another dimension invites you on a journey to behold beauty, to wander off from our realities, to become present. Drawing inspiration from the captivating nature of water, this fountain has been hand-crafted to embody its essence in a unique form.
Much like gazing into a body of water, this installation allows you to peer through its transparent façade while simultaneously capturing reflections that shift with every passing moment. At its core, this fountain embodies the interplay between solid and fluid elements,
sparking an intriguing dialogue between the contrasting materials of water and metal. As an artist, my fascination lies in delving into the intricate relationship between humanity and nature, particularly with water. Its reflective properties and harmonious dance with its surroundings evoke a sense of wonder that never ceases to captivate.
Through the creation of this portal, I aim to provide a pathway for viewers to engage with this fluid element, revealing its innate beauty and beckoning them to embark on a journey of exploration and discovery.
Pepe Valenti is a young Spanish sculpture and installation artist based in Amsterdam, working in the fields of art and collectible design. His work pushes the boundaries between design and art, questioning when design becomes art and when art becomes design. He employs an intuitive, hands-on approach, exploring his fascination with materials through physical experimentation — thinking through making. His inspiration comes from raw, untouched matter surrounding us, while his work remains polished and refined, creating an interesting contrast between the source and the outcome.

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.

Scott Gordon, Portal, 2021
By Scott Gordon
Located in Sharon, VT
Portal
welded steel
Measures: 8.5 x 12.5 x 17.5 in.
This abstract steel sculpture explores the balance between solidity and openness. A vertical arm rises from an irregularly shaped base, terminating in a cantilevered form that projects outward. The composition is simple yet evocative, suggesting movement or transition—an architectural gesture frozen in time. Surface textures, visible welds, and the rawness of the metal emphasize the hand of the maker and the industrial origins of the material.
The work invites contemplation of spatial tension, negative space, and the quiet power of restraint. Both grounded and reaching, it speaks to themes of structure, memory, and impermanence.
Artist statement:
I work with materials that have already lived a life — steel that’s rusted, bent, scarred. These imperfections hold a kind of quiet beauty, one that speaks not of utility but of presence. Though my work sometimes carries figurative echoes, I’m drawn to the non-figurative: the essential, the raw. Steel, once loud and forceful in its industrial context, becomes still and intimate in this new form.
Each composition emerges through direct interaction with found parts. I rarely alter the materials beyond what is necessary. Instead, I allow them to dictate form — interlocking, balancing, and aligning until their relationship feels complete. The process is intuitive, the engineering elemental.
Art, for me, is a spiritual act — a practice of selflessness and stillness. It doesn't seek acclaim or commercial appeal. It simply exists, honest and sacred.
