Sebastian Errazuriz‘s latest creation is called Metamorphosis, a very
distinctive shelving unit made from handcrafted, bent pieces of birch.
The Italian company HORM undertook the realisation of Errazuriz’s idea, which, as he says, came from the ivy-covered garden at his grandmother’s house.
This original piece of furniture will be on show at the ‘beautiful premonitions’ exhibition, which opens on 28 April 2011 at the cristina grajales gallery in New York.
A few words about the artist
Sebastian Errazuriz was born in Chile 34 years ago, grew up in London and now lives in New York.
Through his multidimensional, avant-garde art, he almost always aims to encourage people to look from a different angle at important aspects of human nature, such as life and death themselves.
His “creations” are exhibited in galleries and shows around the world and, as he himself makes clear, are aimed at art collectors.
With a steady stream of awards and the media following his every new piece closely, Sebastian is broadening his range of clients, taking commissions from private individuals as well as from museums, such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
