    ART: Jan Kaláb & Modern Morphology

    June 20, 2023 - By 

    Bright, boundless and bold. Jan Kaláb is known from Europe to Shanghai, New York City to Rio de Janeiro, as an exuberate artist who turn shapes, streetcorners and galleries into points of shifting perspective. There is a youthful projection of coloring outside of the lines. Perhaps that is reminiscent of the wild nights in Prague he spent slipping from stop to stop on the subway delving recklessly into graffiti with his friends, a crew called the ‘The DSK’ in Prague’s art center, formerly known as the Cakes. They would quickly throw street art all over the walls in an attempt…

    January 10, 2019 - By 

    JEWELS, COAL, & GLUE AT THE MET MUSEUM Jewelry: The Body Transformed at The Metropolitan Museum has many royal gems even if it didn’t snag Marie Antoinette’s pearl and diamond pendant at Sotheby’s. Instead, the exhibition brings together innovative adornments from a range of centuries and cultures. An 1890s Tiffany Orchid brooch 4 ½” long combines an orchid’s delicacy with the glow of gold and diamonds. A bronze Celtic Northern Italy brooch from 600 B.C. is austere and elegant. It may be a model for a 1994 William Harper brooch Homage to Cy Twombly and Joseph Cornell. Both circular forms…

    AUREUS & T5 GALLERY

    August 21, 2017 - By 

    Aureus in Latin literally means golden and that is the perfect name for this one-of-a-kind surfboard.

    June 13, 2017 - By 

    The exotic car world has now become familiar with the name Pagani, the moniker assigned to the supercars designed by Horacio Pagani who takes great inspiration from Da Vinci as he painstakingly sculpts some of the fastest cars on the planet. As he began making good on his promise of a little sister to his benchmark Zonda of 1999, the design of which has since been put in the vault, his vision of Renaissance-meets-the-modern-world on the asphalt has taken a very provocative turn. Though younger, no less the wiser, and dare we say more wicked, the Huayra, named after the…
