In his Paris studio, removed from the spectacle of orchestrating fashion extravaganzas and transforming global landmarks, Thierry Dreyfus crafts material – and light – with the quiet introspection of an artist

蒂埃里·德雷弗斯无法轻易归类。这就是他为之命名的作品:为伊夫·圣洛朗(Yves St-Laurent)和戈朗斯(Comme Des Gar Ons)等房屋制作时装秀。还有大规模的灯光装置,就像他2008年在埃菲尔铁塔和2010年在圣母院做的那样。但在他的巴黎工作室里,德雷弗斯的手工艺品-以及艺术家安静的反省-摆脱了策划时尚奢侈和改变全球地标的奇观。

“光明的艺术”(The Art Of Light)是纽约Atelier Courbet的一次展览,它借鉴了德莱弗斯的这部分作品,其中包括一些国产的作品,其中许多从未在他自己的工作室外展出过。如今标志性的“归宿”桌坐落在画廊的中心,周围环绕着较小的灯具和欧式喷射器。四盏“Virgule”灯-每盏都是用不同的材料制作的-指向了光和物质之间微妙的关系,而Br ncușI-esque的‘Lamp B’看上去就像一个雕塑,就像一个照明装置一样。

此外,住宅区位于西第五十二街135号,一栋47层的住宅楼的开发商委托德莱弗斯在建筑外墙上做永久照明设施,他做的是一个薄的垂直条带,其光以静止的心率频率脉动。他说,这可能会帮助人们减速。库尔贝工作室的展览还包括他为该项目创作的一双SCONCES,“灯第五十二”,模仿建筑物的形状和透过半透明的大理石面板的漫射光。

许多包括在“光的艺术”中的物体不是通过一个设计委员会发起的,而是他自己对形式和美的好奇。“每天晚上,我站在镜子前刷牙,我总是问自己,”他说,“我今天真的活下来了吗?”他举例说,他渴望找到寻找美的新方法。“我每天都需要体验美。”

‘The Art of Light’, an exhibition at New York’s Atelier Courbet, draws from this section of Dreyfus’ body of work, including domestic-scaled pieces

Despite avoiding extravagance, Dreyfus’ works are still aesthetically wonderful.  ‘I need to experience beauty everyday,’ he says

These smaller scale works appear in the wake of large installations previously projected on to the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame

At the centre of the exhibition sits the now-iconic ‘Hommage’ table, surrounded by many objets d’art and smaller lamps

Further uptown, Dreyfus was commissioned to make a permanent lighting installation on a residential tower’s facade – which he did as a thin vertical strip whose light pulsates at the frequency of a resting heart rate

Exploring the relationship between light and material are four ‘Virgule’ lamps, each made from a different material

The Brâncuși-esque ‘Lamp B’ seems as much of a sculpture as it is a lighting fixture
