Stefan Rurak, Inflated Steel Pendants, USA, 2022
-
Description
Stefan Rurak’s Inflated Steel Pendant Trio expands the artist’s affinity for steel with a new form that juxtaposes buoyancy and rigidity. The high pressure air-inflated-steel “pillows” are embellished with the artist’s signature motif created through a painterly application of patina. Visible through graffiti-like incisions the work is lit internally.
Todd Merrill Studio began representing Rurak in 2019. His unique art furniture defies conventional boundaries – merging fine art aesthetics, modern conceptual design, and traditional, hand-made craftsmanship techniques. Rurak draws no distinction between art and design – the utilitarian becoming a canvas for his aesthetic endeavor. Each work conveys movement, action, and intuition, providing a stark counterpoint to the meticulous construction and composition of the functional skeleton underneath.
