Consumer culture and the natural world collide in this series of sculptural furniture pieces, created by British artist Jonathan Trayte following a road trip across the USA.
Set to feature in an upcoming exhibition at Friedman Benda gallery in New York, Trayte's one-off pieces incorporate giant plant forms, vivid colours, and a clash of organic and artificial materials.
The exhibition named MelonMelonTangerine will be on show at Friedman Benda in New York from 15 February until 13 March 2021.
