Jacques Jarrige Exhibition
Valerie Goodman Gallery
This event has ended.
Jacques Jarrige is a French Furniture and Lighting artist. It's his first time in the US. The exhibit will be made up of tables, stools, chandeliers and lighting fixtures which capture the whimsical fantasy of Jarrige’s finest work.
Jarrige calls himself an artist-artisan and with skills evocative of Alexandre Noll or Jean Royere, he creates unexpected, unconventional, spirited organic forms with both new and traditional materials such as bronze, aluminum, wood or glass. For this exhibition, Ms. Goodman will recreate Jarrige’s atelier in Paris ( www.valeriegoodmangallery.com) where bends, curves, shapes and then finishes his distinctive pieces with bright colors, lacquers, inlays, gold leaf or patinas.
Jacques Jarrige's search for balance between positive and negative space is on-going but he always has in mind the functional aspect of furniture. French critic Jerome Goddeau said: “His pieces are always distinctive and timeless; with a smile, Jarrige imbues everyday objects with a unique sense of serenity and comfort."
