Needing a change of scenery in the early days of the pandemic, expressionist painter Heather Chontos<\/a> decamped from New York to the countryside of southwestern France, the pastoral inspiration leading to prolific output. First to debut is her Toile du Peintre pattern<\/a>, which has been produced by Pierre Frey in a cotton-blend upholstery for a limited-edition series of the Togo, Michel Ducaroy\u2019s iconic chair for French furniture company Ligne Roset that\u2019s celebrating its 50th anniversary. \u201cHeather\u2019s intense colors and dynamic patterns push the boundaries, aligning with our value of nonconformism,\u201d says Simone Vingerhoets-Ziesmann, executive vice president of Ligne Roset in the Americas. Soon after, the artist\u00a0returned\u00a0to the U.S. for the first time to open \u201cA Time of Sand,\u201d her solo show of 12 new large-scale paintings, including Cold Morning Air, at\u00a0New York\u2019s\u00a0Voltz Clarke Gallery<\/a>\u00a0(where the Sight Unseen Collection<\/a> was simultaneously on display during NYCxDesign). The Chontos show goes through July 7.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
