Artist: Kurt Østervig trained as a shipbuilder, and attachment to wood rather than steel led to his being employed as a furniture designer. In 1947, Østervig established his own furniture studio. His distinctive designs aroused widespread international interest, resulting in his work being exhibited in MoMA showcasing his extraordinary woodworking & design skills.
Artist: Megan Olson creates her own abstract language - non-decipherable and graffiti-inspired, her lettering comes to life in paintings that happen slowly and organically, like speaking a sentence full of emotion. Her technique is mesmerizing, and her vibe is completely dope.
Artist: William Storms is a mathematically driven craftsman “fortunate enough” to have discovered the loom- whose work is an ongoing effort to produce three-dimensional work in a traditionally two-dimensional world. Straddling the worlds of Art and Industry, Storms began his weaving career with a bespoke textile studio in Brooklyn, NY in 2011- where he was quickly introduced to the world of custom handweaving for the Interior Design Trade. This exposure to crafted, custom luxury became the foundation of his practice; working next as a Designer for several prominent Jacquard Mills and simultaneously establishing his signature as an Artist. The continual focus on blending Craft with Custom Manufacturing is a staple in Storms’ body of work, as both an Artist and a Designer.
