Merci Beaucoup | Isabelle Gougenheim solo show

It's no secret, a small business is only as good as it's customers, clients, collectors. Without you, we could not sustain. So this show is for YOU. Merci Beaucoup for allowing my dreams to become a reality - thank you for keeping our doors open for ELEVEN YEARS. We're pulling out all the stops and throwing a big party 🎉 with sponsors like @blickartmaterials @ovmeofficial @heineken_us and @illicit.elixirs there's going to be plenty of awesome to go around! 

Born in Saint-Dié, France, near Strasbourg, Isabelle Gougenheim grew up surrounded by rich history and culture. She earned a master’s degree in Art and Ethnology from Les Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg and spent six months living with the Berber tribes in Morocco, an experience that deeply influenced her artistic perspective.

Twenty-seven years ago, Isabelle moved to Chicago to pursue a career in art and high-end furnishings, working for Holly Hunt and later becoming a partner at Kevin Reilly collection. In 2018, she fully embraced her passion for art, using scarves as her canvas and creating complex, colorful designs. These pieces can be found in the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Her work, described as an organize chaos, complex, and avant-garde, reflects her knowledge, life experiences, and views on contemporary society. Each piece is an interactive experience and you'll find yourself falling in love time and time again with each viewing. The work is sophisticated and colorful - this is the type of work that will truly elevate your space and take your collection to the next level.
