DESIGN MIAMI/ BASEL | GERMANS ERMIČS SOLO PRESENTATION

DESIGN MIAMI/ BASEL | GERMANS ERMIČS SOLO PRESENTATION

PETER BLAKE GALLERY IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE ITS PARTICIPATION IN DESIGN MIAMI | BASEL SWITZERLAND
 

For the 2021 edition of Design Miami/ Basel, we will be exhibiting a site-specific exhibition of Latvian-born, Amsterdam-based artist Germans Ermičs (b. 1985). Contemporary design artist Ermičs deftly navigated light and space through his ethereal pieces of glass furniture, a harmonious marriage of art and function highlighting his focus on aesthetics and material.
For this year's Design Miami/ Basel Curio, Peter Blake Gallery and Ermičs will present an immersive installation exploring his 'Shaping Colour' series. Ermičs continues his exploration of color in the second iteration of his series, shifting from investigating the duality of complementary tones to navigating the subtleties of a monochromatic tint and its infinite shades.

This series features cascading glass panels as their colours ebb and flow in saturation and fuse to create an impossibly delicate table, chair, and consol. The nexus of Ermičs’ exploration into light and space lies within these incredibly minimalistic designs, where the transformation of colour as it vacillates between opaque tones and a sheer veil of blue are truly appreciated in medium and its relationship with the surrounding environment.

This Curio booth will also critically see the next progression in Ermičs’ design, where for the first time he will merge his studio practice onto the walls – making the room in itself an enveloping sculpture. The booth walls will fold around the viewer and his works to foster an entirely all-encompassing experience which Ermičs calls ‘Spatial Intervention.’ The extension into the walls investigates space, colour, and shape, and builds off his first iteration of ‘Shaping Colour’ both in visual language and analysis into the relation between color and shape.
