Reverse Firework in Slow Motion

Carpenters Workshop Gallery presents Reverse Firework in Slow Motion, the first stateside solo exhibition by Greek artist, Kostas Lambridis. Delving into the essence of Earth's elements, Lambridis unveils nine new works that explore a mono-material approach, focusing on metal, wood, mineral, and plastic. Lambridis treats each element equally, highlighting their significance and creating harmony between the materials through his craftsmanship. “There is a structure in the way I work that has become more of a limitation, than an open door. With the excuse of this new show, I wanted to face the void. When you look at my previous work, there is a certain level of complexity. I realised if you focus on one material, like wood, eventually you realise there is the same level of complexity within that material.” —Kostas Lambridis Kostas Lambridis (Greece, 1988), lives and works in Athens. After graduating from the School of Engineering, Department of Product and Systems Design Engineering of the University of the Aegean at Syros, in the Cyclades archipelago, he moved to the Netherlands to work in the studio of Nacho Carbonell, gaining important work experience over a span of eight years. In this same period, he studied in the master program in Contextual Design at the Design Academy of Eindhoven, taking a degree cum laude in 2017.
