About the Item

Flower Pendant Lamp by Taras Yoom Limited Edition of 3 Dimensions: D 50 cm Materials: Metal, plastic, acrylic. The lamp is made in a mixed technique using plastic, silicone, metal and glass. Each element is painted by hand. The «Flower» lamp is the incarnation of a predatory flower, which can catch not only insects and animals with its light, but also people who always strain after the light and reach out for it. Nevertheless, this predatory plant was curbed by a human long time ago with the help of a transparent glass bulb around the lampshade, as if being in its personal aquarium. People were able to tame the light, and accordingly, this predatory plant. Legend: The flower sprouts on the Planet of Paradise. Many people, who have visited this place, become hostages of pollen fumes from plants, and local people, who have already adapted to these poisonous fumes, become like zombies, staying in their oblivion. The sparks flare up in the surroundings at night time and give the impression of safety. However, those local people, who go outside the city at this time, risk being eaten by poisonous plants, which are also called «Head Eaters». These plants are the nocturnal defenders of cities from the living creatures that exist in the forests of the Planet of Paradise. All our lamps can be wired according to each country. If sold to the USA it will be wired for the USA for instance. Zheltyshev Taras The artist/designer was born in the Siberian city of Tomsk in 1991. Parents, who were doctors and architects, influenced the choice of a future profession. In 2010, he entered the pediatric faculty of the Siberian Medical University. He had two passions at the university – biophysics and cartoon animation. Taras was engaged not only in laboratory part-time work, but also in an architectural bureau, creating interior items and art objects. In 2013, he took part and eventually won the Maleskin art competition, where he showed his illustrations. After that, art and passion for design began to conquer his soul. It gave him opportunity to constantly experiment and invent something new. So in 2014, while taking part in the international design competition A’ Design Award, he discovered new horizons in the design and in the same year, he showed projects in light fittings at Beijing Design Week 2014. His works were organic and functional. He was able to create natural images with a functionality. From this moment design, artistic activity and biophysics began to merge into a single unity. Taras created a multidisciplinary workshop where he studied many technologies and techniques for processing materials. Over time, his work blurred the boundary between visible reality and the hidden natural processes of organisms which he studied at a medical university. That led to prevalence of histological ornaments, molecular images and the living organisms’ colors and shapes in his works. Between 2014 and 2018, Taras won several design awards such as the A’ Design Award, Internetional Design Award, Skol Design Award and were featured at I Saloni in Milan and Salone Satelite in Moscow. Taras experimented on the visual functionality of an object that is able to change a person’s attitude to certain things. In 2019, he presented his works at the Collectible Fair in Brussels in the Young Designer category. After that he began to collaborate with two famous Moscow galleries of collectible design. At the same time, he starts cooperation with large factories for which he designed unique art collections of interior items. Again, in 2019, his works were shown in two galleries: Cosmoscow international exhibition of contemporary art in Moscow, and the collectible design exhibition Russian Antique & Art Fair. Since 2019, there have been many publications in magazines (Vogue, Elle decoration, Ad, Interior + Design, Interiors The Best, In / Ex, Forbes, DesignMet, The Rouge, Tatler) about an author who uses biological and natural knowledge with a personalisation approach in art design projects. Now Taras lives and works in Moscow in his workshop, where he constantly studies natural disciplines and creates objects with a soul. Taras declares: I create a person’s attitude to different processes and images. We are surrounded by countless details, complex systems that cannot be realized, but at the same time we live in harmony. I transmit a small part of the invisible world where organised molecules rule, they always strive for symmetry and do this through functional objects for human life. It is necessary to create contact, the exchange of information between complex systems and man, so that the latter can at least imagine them. When we get acquainted with a new device or image, we are getting knowledge about it, and this understanding alone can expand the boundaries in other areas of knowlegde.
