If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a piece of furniture designed by the iconic Rick Owens, now’s your chance. The latest exhibition presented at Dubai\u2019s ICD Brookfield Place Arts in collaboration with Carpenters Workshop Gallery, titled \u201cChiaroscuro,\u201d not only showcases the works of 20 artists and designers but also offers the opportunity to bring home a piece of Owens’ cutting-edge work.<\/p>\n
Curated by the French fashion legend, and wife and business partner to Owens, Mich\u00e8le Lamy, the exhibition, which kicked off on Feb. 27, is a captivating exploration of light and dark\u2013 \u201cchiaroscuro\u201d is \u00a0an Italian term which literally means light-dark\u2013 featuring a diverse range of artists including Nacho Carbonell, Studio Drift, Latifa Saeed, and Omar Al Gurg, among others. Running until March 15, the showcase coincides with Art Dubai 2024<\/a>, drawing inspiration from the metropolis\u2019s dynamic landscape as it transitions from day to night.<\/p>\n \u201cI am fighting for a new way of being through these dark and challenging times we are living through and have used (these) works to interpret my vision between light and dark, to envision better times,\u201d Lamy said in a statement. Through \u201cChiaroscuro,\u201d she invites us to reimagine our world and to embrace the interplay of light and dark as a metaphor for our existence.<\/p>\n Lamy ingeniously divides the exhibition into two states, beginning with “The Darkness,” where visitors are immersed in a mysterious realm where captivating forms emerge from the depths. Among the highlights of this section are Owens’ Gallic Chair, which mesmerizes with its tigr\u00e9 pattern evoking alternating shadows and grounding the artist’s practice in the richness of materials like stone and wood.<\/p>\n
