About the Item

Twentieth Exhibitions is proud to present the début of Hydrochrom, a family of glass sculptures by LA-based artist and designer Sébastien Léon. Hydrochrom, stemming from the Greek expression for “The color of water” consists of tabletop sculptures, lighting, and sound sculptures. Léon first explored blown glass in 2019 when he released Geochrom, a capsule collection of lighting shown at Design Miami in collaboration with the world’s largest gemstone mining company, Gemfields. Léon’s idiosyncratic multi-disciplinary work - painting, music, design - results from an inspired melange of chaos and logic. In the case of Hydrochrom, Leon brought his vision to life by creating freely assembled clusters composed of a synthesis of different sized glass cubes. Some of these assemblages are then transformed into tabletop and suspension lighting, through the use of custom lightsaber shaped LED fixtures piercing through the core of the glass, revealing their ocean-like texture. Without the lighting component, others act as pure glass sculptures. Finally, some are transformed into sound sculptures, playing an original ambient oceanic soundtrack, allowing the glass to be translated into a sonic medium. Between the blue bubbly glass texture and the naming of the pieces after different seas, Hydrochrom is an ode to the ocean.

Marcin Rusak Protoplasting Nature 00 Unique Sculptural Light
By Marcin Rusak
Located in Pireaus-Athens, Greece
In Protoplasting Nature, Rusak combines metal and exotic leaves to make opposing processes — life and death, renewal and decay — evident. A load-bearing structure, formed by hand using welded steel, evokes organic shapes and ornate 17th-century furnishings. In place of a lampshade, Rusak attaches real leaves from the exotic plant Thaumatococcus Daniellii, a rhizomatic herb widely cultivated in central Africa for its exceptionally sweet fruit and useful leaves. The entire sculpture is then coated in zinc...

Contemporary 'Seaside 1990' Lamp 'Small' by Cristian Andersen
By Cristian Andersen
Located in Copenhagen, DK
Cristian Andersen (*1974) has been working at the interface between design and sculpture for a long time. His works are, among other things, often produced using the casting process, whereby a wide variety of materials such as ceramics, concrete or polyester-polyurethane are used and often color pigments are added. In addition to experimenting with the above-mentioned casting techniques, metalworking is also often used in Andersen’s implementation. His works are in the collections of the Danish Art Council, the Collection of the City and Canton of Zurich, Zabludowicz Collection, Mark H. Getty Collection London, Speyer Family Collection New York, Zürcher Kantonalbank, Credit Suisse...
