Meet Sebastian Errazuriz.
He’s cool. He’s design savvy. He’s young and fresh, and someone to watch. His repositioning of everyday objects gives his work a broad appeal. What inner child isn’t giddy at the idea of a teddy bear jacket?
I wonder if it was inspired by Fernando and Humberto Campana’s panda chair created in 2006, according to Moss.
I know my inner size 2 would love to slink around in this sexy zipper dress,
and most practically, it would be a snap to incorporate this functional art
into my living space.
Yet, in all the research on Sebastian, the interview I enjoyed the most was from wallpaper, yielding the quote, “I try to be as un-informed as I can responsibly be. It helps to keep the creative process less contaminated.” I’m going to use that the next time someone asks me about a current event that I have kept uselessly abreast of.
The list of innovative juxtapositions continues. From comical to dark.
All pointing to one conclusion. Keep looking for great design from Mr. Errazuriz.
But it’s quite possibly the channeling of time and talent into education makes the person as intriguing and appealing as the art. The London-raised Chilean artist gives back by imparting his artistic wisdom on students as a university professor and to adoring fans as an art curator. Represented by Cristina Grajales in New York, Sebastian’s work reaches far beyond his years, touting recognition from art powerhouses I.D. Magazine and Sotheby’s.
What’s to come?
I’m hoping for some interior installations. A nursery wall made of milk bottle nipples?
(I think I’m surrounded by too many pregnant women). Or, a cordials out of medicine bottles?
We’ll keep thinking…
