The Palais Royal is hosting an exhibition that reveals the most intimate and contemplative side of the New York artist.
Known for his monumental ceramics, Schlesinger surprises us this time with a selection of pieces that explore the human scale, fragility and the connection between body and nature, in the heart of Paris. The exhibition brings together eight sculptures created between 2013 and 2019, where trees, plants and human figures emerge modelled in glazed clay. Pieces that function as silent symbols of growth, gesture and connection.
Titles such as “Man Pruning Tree” and “Man with Forked Tree” suggest that they border on the ritualistic, while “Small Grove” and “Three Cypress” condense entire landscapes into minimal gestures. The surfaces, with their tactile and organic texture, seem to preserve the pulse of the earth, evoking a beauty that resides in calmness.
This exhibition at the Palais Royal commemorates the tenth anniversary of Peter Schlesinger Sculpture, the iconic exhibition organised by Acne Studios in New York in 2015. A decade later, Acne Paper celebrates that legacy with a second, expanded edition of the book of the same name.
