Pierre Marie Giraud is pleased to invite you to the Autumn Group Exhibition, on view from Saturday, 8 November to Saturday, 6 December, featuring works by Jos Devriendt, Jacques Grange, Herzog & de Meuron, Rick Owens, Jane Yang-D'Haene, and Masaomi Yasunaga.

Bringing together work from design, architecture, and contemporary ceramics, the exhibition focuses on material experimentation and sculptural form, and considers the relationship between function and the art object. The selection includes recent pieces that demonstrate a range of textures and techniques, from minimal approaches to kiln-based processes, offering a concise overview of current material practice.

Jos Devriendt explores lighting and ceramics through a self-described 'low tech' approach, producing simple yet sensible objects that fulfill their function. Recent work reflects day/night alternation and natural/artificial light, using chiaroscuro to complete what he calls 'functional sculpture'.

Jacques Grange presents Citrouille ottomans, rounded volumes upholstered in calfskin, offered in a range of colours. The works translate the designer's vocabulary into compact, tactile seating with clear, graphic profiles.

Herzog & de Meuron translate architectural research into clear, material-driven objects at an intimate scale. The duo iuga table has a pentagonal top with a softly curved, ergonomic edge. The rotating tabletop sets at two heights, 47 cm or 57 cm, and rests on a solid timber foot with a hollow upper base, offered in red stain, peacock green, or natural lacquer.

Rick Owens extends his practice into furniture that stands as an entity apart from fashion yet shares the same dark, elegant logic. Works in alabaster, marble, bronze, wood and bone rely on classical proportion and pared shapes, conveying a direct, material-driven presence.

Jane Yang-D'Haene engages traditional ceramic forms as a basis for experimentation, creating sculptural vessels with contemporary techniques, vivid colour and pronounced texture. Recent bodies of work include Moon Jar reinterpretations that bridge heritage and modernity.

Masaomi Yasunaga rethinks pottery by using glaze as the primary medium, combining feldspars, glass and metal powders to form viscous vessels that are pit-fired in sand. The resulting objects foreground process and material transformation.

We invite you to join us for the opening on Saturday, 8 November, from 2 to 6 PM.
