Harry Nuriev
Denim House
Carpenters Workshop GalleryHarry Nuriev, Léa Mestres and Martin Laforêt present concurrent solo shows at Carpenters Workshop Gallery Los Angeles, entitled Denim House, Family Business and Variations respectively. Although presented separately, the exhibitions provide a cohesive look at the talents of the three artists currently defining the next generation of contemporary art. Harry Nuriev’s Denim House presents a total environment that merges a luxurious lifestyle with function and expression. Denim House realises Nuriev’s dreams of an idealised family room, set within the domestic culture the artist sees as particular to Los Angeles. Following his previous show Denim, he has dived deeper into the nuances of denim as a statement material and has embellished the artworks for this exhibition with hand-embroidered writing, additional stickers, and extra furnishings such as the new dining tablecloth. The artist is a pioneer of transformism, a manifesto that overlaps aspects of fashion, art and architecture simultaneously. Through this collection, Nuriev intends to enable the same levels of personal expression as seen in street fashion within a home environment.
