RETABLO is a brand-new piece and evolution by the artist Thierry Jeannot, Mexico, a jewellery-like mural light installation, made up of 9 separate parts. The shelf and light ensemble are made of bent stainless steel sheets with coloured recycled P.E.T. plastic, metals and vintage glass parts. The artwork captures a dance of shapes and colors, channeling the dynamic energy reminiscent of the Baroque aesthetics of contemporary México City. With its vibrant hues and fluid lines, the piece serves as a visual ode to the city's rich cultural heritage, celebrating the fusion of tradition and innovation in contemporary Mexican art.
The installation concept can be laid out in various configurations and is available in varying numbers of parts. Here we show 9 parts and the installation layout that has been presented at the Zona Maco art fair in Mexico City in 2024, where the piece was launched.
