GÜRTELBAUM
Price On Request Thomas GrünfeldGürtelbaum (Paravent)2014felt, wood, Zebrawood-verneer, brass182 x 253 x 3 cmThomas Grünfeld's pieces are always ambiguous, or rather hybrid.

Confronted to their reflecting surface, the viewer can spend a while trying to understand the intention of such a seedling or meditating on chance that they may metaphorise. A queerness seizes us soon when while looking at these egg- or tear-like pictures, one feels like...
