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.

Located in Geneve, CH
Unity light sculpture by Marie Jeunet. Dimensions: H 34 x L 26 cm. Materials: Lilac hammered glass sheet, smooth amber glass sheet, brushed brass structure and finish. Les Precieux These luminous sculptures evolve with the rhythm of the passing of time, their locations and lifestyles of their owners. Moving reflections with variable ripples, their hypnotic caustics and ephemeral lights are nuanced according to the natural light they receive. The evening, they metamorphose and immerse us in a sweet atmosphere warm and warm. Inspired by the world of jewelry and entirely handcrafted, - Les Precieux - are made from cast, hammered glass sheets or blown. The structure and finishes are brushed brass, a touch of gold who has just finished dedicating these unique pieces.
