From Suitcase To Furniture: Illya Goldman Gubin’s Artworks Reinterpret RIMOWA’s Iconic Designs

Ranging from paintings to sculptures, installations, furniture, and clothing, I G G’s work delves into the ambiguities of modern life, highlighting the complexity of human consciousness, hoping to disclose a heightened understanding of the self. With a signature style that can be described only as multifaceted and thought-provoking, the Ukrainian artist transforms materials, space, and time into intriguing, interactive, and sensorial artworks that invite contemplation and meditation. For the last installment of RIMOWA’s international traveling exhibition ‘As Seen By’, Goldman Gubin was asked to reinterpret the iconic RIMOWA suitcase and freely transform its aluminum sheets and spare parts according to his unique visual language. His contribution joined that of other 60 talented artists and designers, who have showcased their amazing creations in the show’s previous locations, including Shanghai, Paris, and Tokyo.
