Atelier Pierre Culot vs Eric Colonel & Thomas Spit: Round 2

On the occasion of their next exhibition "Jardin Extraordinaire, Eric Colonel & Thomas Spit reunite with the Atelier Pierre Culot for a new collaboration, creating a limited edition series of 14 lamps. Invited in 2019 by Joseph Culot, Dimitri Jeurissen and Arnaud van Schevensteen to undertake a residency at the workshop, the Liège-based duo had found particularly fertile creative ground in transforming the "Citroën" vase into an anthropomorphic sculpture.

This time, the aesthetic adventure continues around the lamp - another totem of the Culot universe. With the complicity of Joseph Culot and Alice, Gallery, Éric Colonel & Thomas Spit painted the shafts of 14 lamps. As in their first collaboration, the encounter between the sober and elegant world of the master ceramist and the grotesque, fantastical universe of the duo gives rise to refined pieces, where the clean-lined profile comes alive with the movement of colorful beasts. Each lamp is unique and delivered with its lampshade.

Pierre Culot (1938–2011) is a major Belgian ceramicist, sculptor, and landscape designer. Trained à Maredsous and La Cambre and later under Bernard Leach in the United Kingdom, he developed an internationally recognized practice from the 1960s onward. After settling in 1964 in Roux-Miroir, his workshop became a central site for research and production, where he created a body of work closely connected to architecture and public space. His ceramics are included in numerous international collections. Since 2015, the Atelier Pierre Culot has continued its activity, ensuring the transmission and promotion of his legacy.
