Beyond The Canvas
A view of a bright room where three tables of the artist edition are setup

In a collaborative material exploration painter Clément Bedel's approach to color and form merges with Lucas Schmid's design and metal craftsmanship in a series of unique table tops mounted on fitted steel frames.

Each piece creates a material narrative, transforming Bedel's painted inner worlds into immersive landscapes that extend beyond the traditional canvas, providing these FANTOPLAST panels a distinctive aesthetic dimension.

The steel frames designed and manufactured by Lucas Schmid come with an industrial look, given by the black-stained finish and details such as the angle grinder's quick release clamps that allow to store them flat for easier transportation. © FANTOPLAST

CLÉMENT BEDEL

is a French painter based in Vienna. He grew up in Les Vosges, a rural region in eastern France characterized by extensive forests and sparse human presence – an environment that continues to influence his work.

After graduating from the École Supérieure d'Art de Nancy in 2017, he continued his training at the Fakultet Likovnih Umetnosti in Belgrade, where he lived and worked until 2020.

Favoring painting, Clément creates hybrid compositions that capture suspended moments between collapse and rebirth. His vibrant, incisive works, evoke a world in mutation where the resilience of nature defies the idea of extinction. Instense streams of color – symbolizing pollution – merge with plants, trees and brutalist relics in perpetual transformation.

LUCAS SCHMID

is an art producer and designer living and working in Vienna. As founder of Werkbuero, he pursues the goal of mediating, designing, and realizing projects across various industries.
