BUTTERFLY EFFECT Inspired by the works of Yves Klein, Charlotte-based artist Stephen Wilson creates his own modern rendition of an iconic art-coffee table following Klein’s Table Bleue and Table Rose. In his limited coffee-table series, Wilson brings an everyday functional element to a work of art. Featuring  embroidered butterflies, vibrant color, and modern design, his tables, including Floating on a Sea of Daydreams, shown here, are weaved with whimsical themes. Most striking about Klein’s work is his examination of color vibrancies and formulating his own trademark ultramarine  pigment. Like his predecessor, Wilson started with the same color intensity and dimensions used in the original Yves Klein specifications, then evolved on this concept to include his own signature embroideries. All pigments used have been sourced from an elusive Parisian chemist and hand-mixed in Wilson’s studio. Each coffee table is a one-of-a-kind piece, respectively named with references to another of his inspirations –  Lin-Manuel Miranda. Available through the New Gallery of Modern Art, $16,000 - $22,000, www.newgalleryofmodernart.com
