This sculptural fusion of past and present, akin to ancient artefacts, serves as a contemporary ode to timelessness. Constructed in Owens' distinctive design language, which revolves around dark tones, brutalism and raw materials, this monochromatic totem is forged of cardboard and finished with an alluring, chromatic coating and extraterrestrial silhouette.

Rick Owens

Rick Owens grew up in Porterville, a small town in California’s San Joaquin valley. Drawn to pre-gentrified Hollywood and L.A.’s punk underground in the 80s, Owens studied painting at what is now Otis College of Art and Design. He then switched to Los Angeles Trade Technical-College to learn pattern-making and draping.
