TEEMU SALONEN & MAARTEN VROLIJK

An Exhibition for Printemps NYC

In collaboration with Todd Merrill Gallery
Curated by Valentina Guidi Ottobri

Finnish artist Teemu Salonen brings a touch of the fantastical with his botanical, sculptural lamps that burst with color and movement. Known for blending natural forms with surrealist flair, Salonen’s pieces feel at once organic and otherworldly. Each sculpture invites a closer look, adding moments of surprise and delight throughout the space where blooms that appear caught in mid-movement underscore our endless spring.

Amsterdam-based artist Maarten Vrolijk brings a sense of softness and joy to the space with his Sakura vases, each a playful, oversized form rendered in soft curves and luminous, layered hues. With a spirit that nods to Romanticism and Art Nouveau, the vases blur the line between function and sculpture. Their fragile transparency, set against the strong lines and saturated palette of the Red Room, creates a beautifully poetic contrast
