ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Throughout his career Chad Jensen has developed a universally articulate voice with a comprehensive understanding for art, craft, design and manufacturing; embodying mastery level training as a woodworker and fine furniture maker. He received international artistic recognition and gained professional experience abroad in product development. In September 2011, Jensen held his first international exhibition at the Shanghai Art Fair, the American Pavilion.

Michael Philip Wolfson’s eponymous firm Wolfson Design is based in London. Wolfson began his career working with Zaha Hadid. His newest designs are inspired by the early experiments of the Russian and Italian Modernist movements. He combines a unique approach to design, as informed by the dynamics of fracture and fragmentation – layering and manipulating his high technology materials into fluid shapes and forms, where shadow and reflection are an integral part of the seduction of the work.

Pryor Callaway is a New York based artist, sculptor, designer and activist. She will exhibit a ceiling-mounted, cascading sculpture made entirely of cocktail straws, accompanied by an exquisitely rendered resin pedestal embellished in glass beads.

LWIN Design will exhibit illuminated wall sculptures for the first time at Avant Gallery.

‘Pictures & Furniture’ is a showcase of new contemporary paintings from Alejandro Vigilante, Arno Elias, Alec Monopoly and works by award-winning fashion photographer Guy Le Baube.
