About the Item

George Sellers is a classically-trained artist who studied sculpture in Italy. George had also been doing the window art for years in New York at luxury jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels, working with the famous Douglas Little. This Dallas-based sculptor, who started his career apprenticing with a master stone carver in Italy, works almost exclusively with the underappreciated medium of plaster. “We study the frescoes and paintings on ceilings, but look right past the incredible moldings,” says Sellers. “I have trained and studied my entire career to develop and perfect the techniques and craftsmanship required to visually express my respect for all living things,” says George. “I am endlessly intrigued by the complex structure of the human hand. I am equally captivated by the sinuous architecture of the snake and the complex mechanics of an insect wing. Mystery and beauty exist in all forms of life, be it human, animal, insect, or flora. I am honored to be able to present sculptural forms that express the dignity and grace of the natural world in which we all exist.”

Ligne Light 2, Pink Neon, White Glass, by Sabine Marcelis, Glass Table Lamp
By Sabine Marcelis
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
The Ligne sculptures were made during a summer artist residency at Pilchuck school of glass. As with many of Sabine Marcelis's explorations with light, these objects were born from a curiosity to explore how a material volume can interact with a single line of light and in this case also how two very different ways of working with glass can elevate eachother. Together with talented neon benders, Sabine Marcelis hand-bent each of the neon lights to wrap around the various glass volumes, accentuating their mass and in turn, the glass volumes filtering the light. Dutch-Kiwi designer Sabine Marcelis’s work is at the forefront of contemporary material innovation in product and installation design. She works with glass manufacturers and more, forging partnerships across her industry to bring her ambitiously experimental projects to fruition. Marcelis’s focus is on allowing happenstance sensory experiences to emerge by juxtaposing combinations of unlikely materials and colors. She was educated at the Design Academy Eindhoven and since founding her eponymous studio in 2011 in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, she has built a remarkable roster of clients in fashion, architecture and art. She has created signature pieces for the likes of Rem Koolhaas’s architecture firm OMA, high-fashion labels Fendi and Isabel Marant and luxury beauty brand Aesop. She has also exhibited at the Salone del Mobile in Milan and won Wallpaper* magazine’s Designer of the Year award for 2020. Marcelis was invited to create a sculptural intervention for the interiors of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lily Reich...
