Sim u la crum – replacing reality with representation. Inspired by nature, my handcrafted leather tree rugs and wall art are unique in color and pattern representing different species of trees. This piece has a petrified finish to resemble 1000's of year-old wood that petrified to stone. I achieve this appearance by treating the leather with a wood resin. I MADE THIS PIECE 5 YEARS AGO TO ALLOW FOR INTENTIONAL AGING IN MY GALLERY. LIKE A SADDLE WITH EXPOSURE TO LIGHT, THE LEATHER DARKENS AND DEVELOPS A WARM PATINA. ALTHOUGH IN MY GALLERY AGING, THIS ONE OF A KIND RUG DOES NOT GET WALKED ON AND HAS MANY BURLS, LEATHER BOARDERS RESEMBLING TREE BARK AND A 1/4" PAD BUILT INTO THE BACK SO IT'S SOFT TO THE STEP. THIS IS A WORK OF ART SHOWCASING ALL THE UPGRADES AVAILABLE IN MY TREE ART RUGS.

My career in the leather business has spanned over 30 years, having spent the better part of my life working with leather. My speciality was everything related to upholstery leather, from furniture to aircraft to automotive. A gift of placemats from my mom with thin slices of wood mounted on felt backing, would change everything. I noticed how the fiber structure of crosscut wood closely resembled the structure of thick saddle leather. I began to replicate the appearance of wood by cutting thin leather laces and turning them on their side, exposing the leather fiber. After about a year of R&D, my first leather tree rug debuted. The most rewarding aspect of my current business has been creating leather design works that are non-substitutable and one of a kind. Over the past years, these works of art were exclusively available to architects and designers, I'm excited to now share these with the public for the first time at Saatchi Art, THE OTHER ART FAIR CHICAGO 2022. Over the years my artistry expanded into oil painting, an additional passion. I'm pleased to also share a sampling of my paintings here. Enjoy! Scott Gelander SG
