COLLECTIBLE Calendar 🔹 Neo Normality by Barry Llewellyn (@barry_llewellyn_) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tucked away in a vitrine on a quiet street in Eindhoven, Netherlands, designer Barry Llewellyn has crafted a display of works which blur the lines between fiction and reality. Using a diverse selection of materials, he explores how they can flow in a natural manner. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From the richly textured, organic forms in Llewellyn’s work, it becomes clear that the inclinations of nature play an important role in their fabrication. Taking a posthumanist perspective, he realises that many of our systemic tendencies can be closely linked with natural occurrences, despite our departure from the natural world. For example how the make‐up of roads across cities and countries can resemble fungal networks by branching, merging and converging in some areas. “When we are aware that we are creating, we often begin working in a more calculated manner”, he believes. “I wanted to explore creating in a way where the material has a greater autonomy to transform in ways that are respective of its characteristics.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For his first solo show, Llewellyn has transformed the project space of Salon Veneman (@salonveneman) into an oasis for reflection and discovery. The solo show ‘Neo Normality’ is on view through the Salon Veneman vitrine in Eindhoven from the 2nd ‐ 23rd of September. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #COLLECTIBLEfamily ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photos and text by Barry Llewellyn ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ __​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #collectible #collectibledesign #collectiblefair #ContemporaryCollectibleDesign #DesignBrussels #sculpture #furnituredesign #functionalart #InternationalScene #FunctionalArt #ContemporaryDesign #ContemporarySculpture #ArtandDesign #soloshow #neonormality #barryllewellyn #salonveneman #designexhibition #eindhoven #eindhovendesign #dutchdesign #thenetherlands #designinnederland #designnederland
