HORACIO CARDOZO & FABRICE VERRIERE

Of his childhood in Argentina, Horacio Cardozo keeps the blueprint-geometrical and metaphysical, graphic and enigmatic-of an open city flatly opening immediately to the immensity of surrounding nature. Beyond the city limits, the large world : the one where the line flees endlessly. And comes back to reality with a permanent sighting, feeling and time perception lag. In 1987, he settles and works in France. Later, it will be New York, its new disappearing lines reaching, this time, to the sky. Each time, under the blueprint of the architect, or in furniture design, or through the gesture of drawing-all current activities of an Horacio Cardozo builder, scenograph, architect - the trace, the line is there. And we find it again , caught in this sleek shaped stool, named Virgil . First piece of a range that declines the woven wood element (table, chairs and others to come), it is edited presently in limited and numbered series and displaid at galerie IBU, Palais-Royal, Paris.
