Salon Art & Design 2023: SUPER, NATURAL

Charles Burnand Gallery is showing at Salon Art + Design in New York for the fourth time and presenting their exhibition, SUPER, NATURAL .  Set  against a sinuous, ribbon-like wall to create a sophisticated architectural backdrop, the collection will be curated much like a collector’s home, acting as an immersive space presenting contemporary collectable art and design with a specific focus on elevated, superior form and natural materials. 

During Salon Art + Design, new works will be presented by:

Dawn Bendick, Pierre Bonnefille, DenHolm, Frederick Nielsen, Reynold Rodriguez, Labaye Sumi, Caleb Zipperer, Noa Chernichovsky, Simon Stewart, Caroline Chouler-Tissier, Garreth Devonald-Smith, Studio Furthermore, and Binghui Song.

‘SUPER, NATURAL’ was curated through the lens of gallery founder Simon Stewart, a collector himself, focussing on how these pieces would look if curated in a private home. Stewart’s brief to the artists was in search of works that concentrated on sophisticated and elevated designs, playing off of different architectural aspects found in a home.  Stewart wanted the pieces to feel like they belonged in an urban environment - a city apartment or home - a residence in a metropolis, while leaning towards exaggerated forms. 

“With our return to Salon Art + Design this year, we sought to explore a theme that could showcase makers who are pushing the boundaries through their practice,” says Stewart on the exhibition. “We wanted these pieces to feel at home in this urban environment they are being shown in and allow visitors to be able to envision each within their own space”
