Tom Loeser and Wendy Maruyama | Colorama | Superstudio NY
Colorama, a two-artist show featuring studio furniture legends Tom Loeser and Wendy Maruyama is set to open at New York-based gallery, Superhouse.
Returning to their trailblazing roots transforming American fine art furniture, Maruyama, and Loeser exhibit bold new works crafted with the finesse and sophistication achieved from decades of making.
The duo’s break from traditional woodworking and finishing techniques over 40 years ago was seen at the time as being both subversive and revolutionary. While the transgressive colour that defined their early careers is evident, the artists’ present conditions inform these new works.
Maruyama’s cabinets explore femininity and health, shaped by the artist’s own experience of aging while Loeser’s seating explores social dynamics and collaboration at a time of political and social divisiveness.
After nearly 50 years of pushing their field forward, Colorama offers a look at what Maruyama and Loeser are interested in now.
Tom Loeser & Wendy Maruyama Colorama is at Superhouse 14 November 2024—11 January 11, 2025
