Vas Florum

Carpenters Workshop Gallery presents the first solo exhibition of Polish artist Marcin Rusak in Paris, alongside Paris+ in October.

Marcin Rusak’s artistic practice centres on the transient beauty of flowers. His family has produced and sold flowers for generations, and the artist has long considered how their value fluctuates in relation to their state of preservation. Rusak’s artworks explore the connections between beauty, permanence, and decay, fixing flowers and plants within resin sculptures. 

In this series, Rusak reinvents the idea of the vase, an item inextricably linked with flowers and their display. Conceived as ‘time capsules’, each resin sculpture contains flowers that resonate with individual and collective memories.
