Jerome Abel Seguin & Paul Solberg

Paul Solberg studied Anthropology at the University of Cape Town and traveled extensively to Namibia, Botswana and South Africa before moving to New York. He began his photographic career with his first book, Bloom (2005), which was followed by Puppies Behind Bars (2006) and Tyrants + Lederhosen (2011) and Tattoos, Hornets & Fire (2012). First known for his still-life portraits, Solberg applies the same depth to his human subjects, such as portraits of Ai Weiwei (2008) and his haunting portraits of the Armed Forces (2010), which resides in the Elton John Photography Collection, among others. His work has been included in top publications and exhibited internationally.

French artist Jerome Abel Seguin has lived in Indonesia for over 25 years. His work gives shape to large native wood species highlighting the natural heft of the material. His latest collection, “Archipelago: Wood, Stone, Iron” celebrated ironwood and iron wall furniture salvaged from scrap metal and machine parts, inspired by handmade ikat textiles from the Flores and Sumba islands in Indonesia. His Suiseki river stone sculptures are shaped over centuries by river currents, and collected by Seguin around Java, and prized for their position between art and nature. He joined RALPH PUCCI in 2000.
