SUMMARY:Design Dimensions
DESCRIPTION:March 15\, 2019 – Naples\, FL – METHOD & CONCEPT is pleased to announce Design Dimensions\, a two-person exhibition featuring work by Bower Studios and artist Matthew Shlian. The exhibition is on view March 28 – May 10\, 2019. An opening reception will be held on March 28 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the gallery (26 10th St. S Naples\, FL 34102). \nDesign Dimensions is an examination of depth\, light\, and self. Interweaving texture\, tones\, and multidimensionality\, it is a marriage of masterful engineering and artistic inspiration that operates as insight into the interpretations of the viewer’s consciousness. Bower’s multifaceted mirrors and Shlian’s delicately sculpted paper speaks to how we spatially orient ourselves to our surroundings. The combination of art and design creates an interactive study of the way one makes sense of things; existing as a domain where the mind is continuously engaged. \nBower’s mirrors project a physical and metaphorical reflection\, positing notions about perception and form. A mirror is a gateway to the soul\, but when fashioned in a way that engages parts of the whole\, it speaks more to what we choose to hide and reveal. As an ominous doorway\, mirrors suggest possibilities; as an object\, they display parts in more detail\, a limited examination. \nShlian’s intricate paper sculptures contain a range of moods in their highlights and shadows\, holding space and time within their nuanced depths\, forcing us to reckon with both. His work is representative of a constant state of flux\, encouraging focus and stillness. Merging Shilan’s innovative paper engineering with Bower’s experimental designs compels the viewer to immerse themselves into the exhibition\, imparting the viewer with a multidimensional experience that challenges the way one expects to see. \nBOWER is a New York City-based studio with a multidisciplinary approach to contemporary furniture and product design. With a focus on mirrors\, they explore perceptions of depth\, light and self. Through a free-thinking\, experimental process\, Bower aims to bring unexpected objects and environments into people’s lives\, with reflections taking center stage. Of all the things we surround ourselves with every day\, the mirror is most closely related to our consciousness—a humble technology for understanding ourselves. This defining spirit of discovery is present throughout their collections and is passed on to those who engage with a Bower design. Bower Studios is comprised of partners Danny Giannella\, Tammer Hijazi and Jeffrey Renz. \nMATTHEW SHLIAN is an artist and designer based in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. His work extends from drawings to large scale installations and collaborations with leading scientists at the University of Michigan\, where he is currently a visiting research scholar in the Department of Material Science. Using his skills as an engineer\, Shilian’s recent work for the National Science Foundation makes nano-scale interpretations of macro-scale paper folding structures.

SUMMARY:Lyès: Energy of Life
DESCRIPTION:After five years as Thomas Riley Studio\, the Naples-based gallery\, art consultancy and design atelier recognized for exhibiting innovative artists across all mediums\, is now METHOD & CONCEPT. On Thursday\, January 10\, 2019\, METHOD & CONCEPT will debut “Energy of Life” by French visual artist Lyès. The exhibition will feature six “wall-source” sculptures that explore the manifestations of energy in the world. An artist reception will take place at the gallery\, located at 26 10th St S\, Naples\, FL\, on Thursday\, January 10\, 2019 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. “Energy of Life” will be on view through Friday\, February 15\, 2019. \nInspired by quantum physics and Zen philosophies\, energy is omnipresent in Lyès work. The six monumental\, circular sculptures are hypotonic\, large-scale fusions of acrylic and aluminum that represent the interconnectedness of the world—both literally and metaphorically. Steeped in spirituality associated with Mindfulness\, Lyès sculptures are abstract tools that captivate viewers and help facilitate a heightened level of consciousness. The artist borrows from a range of traditions and art movements including Minimalism\, Abstract Art\, Conceptual Art\, with nods to James Turrell and Olafur Eliasson. \nWorks in the exhibition include Eternal Cocoon\, Union and Inner Infinity. Eternal Cocoon is a series of three interconnected\, shimmering colored disks that use optical illusions to manipulate the viewers’ gaze. The silky textures and tonal nuance imbue a sense of peace and tranquility. Union takes on an identical structure but in vibrant royal blue\, complimenting Eternal Cocoon’s warmth with a calm\, yet inviting glow. Inner Infinity consists of two monochromatic disks—one black and one white that join together with shades of gray. The separation and ultimate intersection of the two tones demonstrate a cyclical quandary\, that is\, the ongoing dilemma humans face when trying to claim a place and position in the world. Lyès created this piece to reflect on the inner dialogue of humankind\, the complementarity between good or bad. \n“Energy Of Life” and Lyès’ larger artistic practice and Mindful spirituality offers a calm\, optimistic counterbalance to the chaos in the world. His sculptures invite viewers to pause\, think and appreciate the positive energy surrounding us all. \nAbout Lyès\nLyès (b. 1978) lives and works between France and Hong Kong. Inspired by quantum physics and Zen philosophies\, his work celebrates life and energy in the universe. He uses painting\, photography\, light and installation\, often with a prediction for monumental artworks\, to discover\, enhance and demonstrate the magic\, mystery and natural forces present everywhere. Feeling connected to the world\, and wanting to act positively\, Lyès joined the Social and Solidarity economy movement\, and in 2012 created the Source Project. He aims to spread love\, joy and Mindfulness.
