In 'Domestic Inferno,' we encounter an arresting convergence of art and life. The creations on display, ranging from intricate objects to immersive installations, serve as gateways to the profound within the mundane. This exhibition blurs the line between conceptual art and utilitarian design, inviting us into an intimate dialogue with the tangible and the intangible. Within the confines of this exhibit, we extend an invitation to reevaluate the everyday, juxtaposing it against displaced contexts, sparking fresh interpretations. These pieces, tinged with a subtle veneer of irony, offer a poignant commentary on the reverence for the ordinary, while providing a glimpse into an enigmatic future, poised between hope and contemplation. For Piatt, art transcends medium, encompassing objects, sounds, emotions, and thoughts. His process is rooted in the belief that any idea, no matter how unconventional, can be brought to life. Ambiguity is a crucial element in his work, encouraging multiple interpretations of seemingly straightforward pieces. He champions a pure approach to art-making, free from concerns of audience or commercialization. James Piatt, a distinguished multi-disciplinary artist, architect, and industrial designer, brings a wealth of experience to his craft. His interdisciplinary practice is shaped by a background in environmental and industrial design, refined at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. With a career marked by innovation and leadership in design, Piatt's work has been featured in museum exhibitions, and he has earned awards and patents. His studio in Los Angeles stands as a vibrant hub for his creative explorations. Join us at the James Piatt Studio/Gallery on October 14th, from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and immerse yourself in a world where art breathes new life into the ordinary.
