Stefan Rurak, Action Series Console III, USA, 2024

Stefan Rurakโ€™s furniture defies conventional boundaries – merging fine art aesthetics, modern conceptual design, and traditional, hand-made craftsmanship techniques. His evocative, one-of-a-kind works are the type of collectible pieces built to span generations. Working with a variety of materials – wood, cast concrete, brass, and steel – Rurak draws no distinction between art and design. He describes his work as sculpture that just happen to be functional – the utilitarian becoming a canvas for the aesthetic endeavor. Each piece conveys movement, action, and intuition, providing a stark counterpoint to the meticulous construction and composition of the functional skeleton underneath.

Rurakโ€™s unique aesthetic and process stems from a diverse range of media, ranging from things as conventional as drawing and painting to performance art. โ€œThe work is largely process oriented, he states, โ€œIncreasingly I became aware that the mediums I was drawn to, such as silkscreen printing and film photography were really a pursuit of a craft that relied on a skillset as well as a system of tools.โ€
