BABLIANO COLLECTION

2026

BLACKENED BRONZE

The Babliano Collection begins with the presence of forms that seem to have endured for centuries. Ancient artifacts and ceremonial objects inform its gravity, while the ordering principles of classical architecture shape its proportions

Each image leads to its corresponding work at STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN, with further imagery and details

  • Brent Lee draws the clarity of Roman construction and the measured elegance of French neoclassicism into a contemporary sculptural vocabulary attuned to silence, weight and the space surrounding the body

    Each piece holds the room with calm intensity. Monumental volumes narrow into sweeping contours, and defined lines recede as light travels across the surface. The geometry responds continuously to its setting—daylight, changing viewpoints and human movement—giving the collection a living spatial presence. Scale, silhouette and support are brought into exact alignment, lending every work its architectural conviction

    Ateliers Saint-Jacques handcrafts each work in France from blackened bronze. Light gathers slowly across the deep patina, drawing out the density of the metal and its quiet variations in tone. Minute traces of hand-finishing remain within the surface, preserving the intimacy of its making and the character of the material

    Seen together, Babliano reveals Lee’s architectural approach: objects of composure and physical conviction, made to anchor a room and deepen its atmosphere. Their sense of permanence resides in the exactness of their proportions, the gravity of bronze and the quiet evidence of human craft

    The collection is exclusively represented by STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN in New York
