Mathias Kiss
leads a reflection around the deconstruction of the classical heritage at the crossroads of painting, sculpture and architecture. For reasons intrinsic to the stages of his career, his work causes the erasure of the barriers between art and craftsmanship, in line with trends such as the Arts & Crafts movement or the Bauhaus school.

In keeping with the methods used in Mathias Kiss’ personal work, we will reflect on the rules and classic codes of the Decorative Arts – and defy them! We thus may apply to “poor” materials a number of “noble” practises in terms of technique (such as fake marble pattern, trompe-l’œil, or painted wood), or use such “interior techniques” for the exterior as well.
