“Landmark”, the exhibition by Studio Job in Miami is not a closed-end collection, but an installation of monumental sculptures from the period 2009–2014.
The selection was made in collaboration with Loic Le Gaillard and Julien Lombrail, the founders of Carpenters Workshop Gallery in Paris and London.

Architecture is what connects the exhibition. Cast in bronze, monumental interpretations of world famous buildings.

But these icons are positioned anew, and find themselves in a vulnerable position, blown up or reduced to a simple lamp. What also connects the sculptures is the ultimate effort for the ultimate work. They are Renaissance pieces for the contemporary applied arts.

The fantasy world of Studio Job finds its inspiration in London with Big Ben Aftermath. The sculpture, topped with a replica of an typical English bus, has its own mechanical timepiece.

Studio Job is also inspired by France: first of all in Chartres, with a reproduction of the cathedral in bronze that opens up like a precious altarpiece; then on to Paris with the bronze Eiffel Tower Lamp that bends under invisible pressure and becomes a desk lamp. This extraordinary journey ends in India with the Taj Mahal: the famous marble mausoleum is upturned and transformed into an elegant polished bronze table.
