fine art furniture Ernst Gruler
ERNST GRULER has developed his design sensibilities over the past 25 years, after earning his BFA and MA in furniture design. He combines painterly aesthetics, function, and craftsmanship to create works of contemporary fine art furniture, sculpture, and paintings that are enduring and unique. As described recently by santa fean, “Ernst Gruler’s tables aren’t merely flat-topped pieces of furniture—they’re eye-catchingly abstract, with curves designed to draw each person into the fold and chairs that smoothly follow the shape of the human body.” Indeed, a single chair is made from some 50 pieces of wood. Much of his furniture indicates Gruler’s work as a painter, incorporating texture, form, and abstraction into daily life. Gruler has several dining sets available and is excellent with commissions for fine art furniture or sculpture design. Model T Crank 2 | repurposed steel & cherry wood | $2700

Paint is, for me, an ointment, which I use to mediate the space between sets of potentially oppositional considerations, like body and imagination, or past and present. My practice is built around process: mark making, repetition, accumulation, erasure, and the viscosity of the paint itself. I am also concerned with my physical relationship to paint, including the motions inherent in the process of mark making and the many references this mark making makes toward writing, indexing, and reading.
