Aperion features robust polygonal shapes either embedded in or mounted on a rich plaster ground. These shapes are either deeply saturated with pigment or kept nearly silent, tone on tone. Aperion is inspired by the work of Richard Tuttle.
The Meta Collection is born of the Callidus Guild ethos: the styles, ideas, textures, patterns that we have continually and passionately drawn from over the last twenty years - our core sensibilities. We are allured, over and over again, by Belgian simplicity, French decadence, African complexity, Japanese refinement, and American bravado and connection to the land.
Cultural cross-pollination combined with steadfast virtuosity. The influence of Japanese lacquer techniques and West African sculpture and textiles on French Art Deco. How the applied arts of Meiji era Japan expanded and deepened the moment Modernism was introduced. Contemporary American art as an amalgam of international immigrants seeking The New.
