Andy Paiko’s “Seed Cloud” Chandelier transforms glass into a suspended sculptural composition, balancing technical precision with a sense of organic movement and wonder. Based in Portland, Oregon, Paiko is known for ambitious works that explore the tension between form and function, pushing traditional glassmaking into unexpected territory.
His work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and is held in museum and private collections worldwide. In 2015, Paiko received the prestigious Louis Comfort Tiffany Biennial Award.

On view in the side gallery, opening this Friday - “Daniel Shapiro: Form in Play” showcases a selection of functional works that celebrate the artist’s playful approach to clay. Based in St. Louis, Shapiro brings a background in graphic design and art direction to a studio practice that bridges art and design, translating graphic ideas into tactile, three-dimensional forms. Characterized by bold silhouettes, unexpected shapes, movement, and humor, his lighting and furniture challenge conventional ideas of function while remaining deeply rooted in utility. Since discovering clay in 2017, Shapiro has developed a distinctive visual language that balances sculptural expression with everyday use, creating objects that are as joyful as they are functional.

Richard Haining will be featured in the fourth edition of the Homo Faber Biennial, presented by the Michelangelo Foundation at Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, opening September 1. Conceived by Artistic Director Es Devlin, Homo Faber 2026 explores the relationship between light, materials, and the human hand through immersive installations celebrating contemporary craftsmanship.

Working from his studio in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Haining transforms wood reclaimed exclusively from New York City into sculptural furniture, lighting, and vessels using his signature STACKED technique. His STACKED Winged Vessels pair this slow, additive process with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, celebrating the beauty and history of salvaged material.

Wexler Gallery is pleased to announce “Pentimento”, the debut solo exhibition of New York-based artist Danny Balgley, opening August 27 in Philadelphia. Bringing together vibrant new paintings and works on paper, the exhibition explores intuitive mark-making, layered surfaces, and the traces of revision that become part of each work’s history. Through vivid color, excavation, and accumulation, Balgley transforms painting into both image and artifact, revealing the process of its own making.

Refined restraint defines Wilén-Jong’s Uttero Coffee Table. Handcrafted from responsibly sourced solid walnut, its conical legs and stacked construction create a sculptural presence that feels grounded, warm, and quietly expressive. Finished with a rich oiling process, the wood takes on a smooth, satin-matte sheen that highlights the material’s natural character.

The work reflects the Stockholm-based duo’s signature approach, where Scandinavian refinement meets playful, contemporary design. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship and an ongoing exploration of sustainable materials, Wilén-Jong creates objects where precision and poetry exist in equal measure.

Thrilled to see F E Y Z’s custom Sunset Drive chandelier featured in Usher’s home in this month’s Architectural Digest. Designed by the incredibly talented Nicole Fuller, the residence is a stunning celebration of eclectic art and design.

We’re especially partial to the kitchen, what Fuller calls “the heartbeat of every home I design,” where Feyza’s sculptural chandelier brings warmth, light, and artistry to the heart of the home.

Congratulations to everyone involved in this incredible project.

Marcus Vinícius De Paula’s “IO Prime” transforms ancient stone into a luminous meditation on time, transformation, and the forces that shape our universe.

Completed in 2025 and carved from Roman travertine, a sedimentary stone formed over millennia in mineral springs, IO Prime takes its name from Jupiter’s volcanically active moon, evoking cycles of upheaval, renewal, and creation. A sharply geometric form is punctuated by a central triangular void and bisected by a vertical plane of light, creating a powerful dialogue between solidity and emptiness. As light emerges from within, it reveals the stone’s layered geological history, inviting viewers to consider the sculpture as both an ancient relic and a portal through time and space.

On view in “Interstice: Thresholds Carved with Light and Time”, Marcus Vinícius De Paula’s first major solo exhibition with Wexler Gallery, through August 14.

“Illusions of Softness”, a new body of ceramic vessels by Malene Djenaba Barnett, reimagines the lace doily as a symbol of resilience, memory, and cultural reclamation.

Introduced into Caribbean homes as markers of European refinement, doilies were transformed by generations of Black women into treasured objects representing care, dignity, and pride within the home. For Barnett, this history is also deeply personal: when her mother migrated from St. Vincent and the Grenadines to the United States in the 1960s, she carried a doily with her.

Barnett molds and embeds patterns from family heirlooms and doilies collected from Southern thrift shops into ceramic vessels that appear crumpled yet elegant. Delicate lace becomes a durable clay surface, creating a powerful tension between fragility and permanence, softness and strength.

Through this transformation, “Illusions of Softness”reflects the ways Black diasporic communities have continually reshaped inherited forms into expressions of identity, care, and cultural resilience.
