Hand knotted rug
Wool & Silk
High / Low Cut

Jonathan Horowitz is a New York–based artist whose practice spans video, sculpture, sound installation, painting, and photography. Since the late 1980s, he has developed a body of work that engages directly with the cultural and political climate of its moment, addressing subjects such as race, sexuality, religion, celebrity, and consumerism. Drawing on the visual language of mass media, popular culture, and modernist form, Horowitz examines how systems of representation shape collective consciousness and personal identity.

Horowitz’s work often juxtaposes aesthetic clarity with charged content, using strategies of repetition, appropriation, and symbolic color to foreground the ideological frameworks embedded in everyday imagery. His projects invite reflection on how images circulate, how values are constructed, and how histories of activism and visibility continue to inform contemporary debates. Balancing critique with moments of poetic resonance, his practice situates formal abstraction alongside urgent social inquiry.

For HENZEL STUDIO, Horowitz created a free-form composition titled Rainbow Cross for Two. Translating his longstanding engagement with color as both formal and political language, the work brings together geometric structure and chromatic symbolism, extending themes of duality, solidarity, and shared experience into the tactile medium.

Horowitz’s work has been widely exhibited internationally and is included in major museum collections, reflecting his sustained contribution to conversations around art, politics, and visual culture.

Selected exhibitions: The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, MoMA PS1, New York, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston; Museum Ludwig, Cologne and CAM Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis.

Henzel Studio returns to Imperfettogallery, for Sodalizi Temporanei, opening Monday, 20 April during Milan Design Week 2026. On the occasion of the exhibition, Henzel Studio presents the launch of RICHARD PRINCE, 1967, a work conceived by the artist in 2013 and now, thirteen years later, introduced for the first time as a hand-knotted rug in an edition of 20. This release follows the studio’s first collaboration with Richard Prince, 1234-5678-910, presented in 2013, and marks a continued dialogue between contemporary artistic practice and textile form.

Henzel x Warhol

Henzel Studio Heritage: Andy Warhol is a limited-edition collection of art rugs created in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, marking ten years of partnership. Each rug translates Warhol’s iconic imagery —whether vibrant or in black and white —into tactile, hand-knotted works of art. This decade-long collaboration merges Warhol’s experimental spirit with Henzel Studio’s dedication to craftsmanship, material integrity, and lasting design. The collection offers collectors and art lovers a unique way to experience Warhol’s visual language, bridging contemporary art and functional, collectible rugs.

Jwan Yosef: Intimacies

The Intimacies capsule translates Jwan Yosef’s paintings into dye-injected chromogenic prints on velour, relocating painterly gesture to a tactile textile surface. Stretch, scrape, and touch—actions central to Yosef’s studio practice—are carried from canvas into pile, where image becomes object and proximity replaces distance. Yosef’s work explores dualism and in-between states: authentic and synthetic, exposure and concealment, intimacy and distance. By shifting fine-art language into textile form, the series questions how medium shapes meaning and how the body meets the image. Each rug functions as a physically encountered painting, holding the viewer within the tension of presence, desire, and material. Produced within the Henzel Studio Collaborations program and as part of The Dual Terrains collection. Launched at Culture Edit Gallery, Los Angeles.

Henzel Studio x Carsten Höller

Carsten Höller creates mushroom-inspired works to explore altered states of perception, the dualities of nature—both harmless and toxic—and the intersection of science and art. Drawing on his scientific training, Höller has long been fascinated by fungi, particularly the psychedelic Amanita muscaria, which he transforms into sculptural “confusion machines” that challenge perception and spark curiosity. For Henzel Studio, Höller has translated this ethos into the Mushroom Rug, a limited-edition hand-knotted piece that brings the whimsical and transformative qualities of his sculptural mushrooms into a tactile, functional form. The rug invites viewers to engage with space, texture, and color in a way that blurs the boundaries between art, design, and experience.

Palazzo — Punk, Patina & Pressure

In Palazzo, Henzel approaches the historical rug as material under pressure, not an object of preservation. Classical patterns are cut, sanded, washed, stained, and weathered—pushing the rug from decoration into a sculptural field shaped by force and time.
