“Meditations on Movement” at Twenty First Gallery | New York
“The notion of movement is at the center of my creative process,” says Vincent Corbière, the French-born artisan whose furnishings and lighting creations are the subject of a new show at Twenty First Gallery in Manhattan alongside pieces by his textile designer-artist partner, Anne Corbière. Visit the downtown space through July 31 to see “Meditations on Movement,” which features sculptural pieces made in the last decade that perfectly illustrate the pair’s mastery of woodworking techniques and expert use of upholstery to weave compelling narratives. The Meissa stools, for instance, feature handwoven tweed cushions set atop trunk-like walnut bases carved with nods to Greco-Roman fluting—a poetic juxtaposition of strength and delicacy.
