Tristano di Robilant
Curated by Anthony Graham
Until Sunday, April 30, 2017
Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD)
MCASD Downtown, Jacobs Building
From December 16 until April 30, 2017, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) present the exhibition Tristano di Robilant, curated by Anthony Graham.
Tristano
di Robilant’s glass, metal, and ceramic sculptures balance geometric
forms with exquisite light and color. His elegant creations highlight
the particular qualities of his materials, emphasizing distinctive
forms. These works are also acutely attuned to the world around them,
with translucent surfaces that play with light and reflection. Their
irregular and seemingly random shapes are at once surprising and
mesmerizing. The sculptures’ playful forms are often paired with
enigmatic titles that borrow from a range of literary, philosophical,
and historical influences. Working in close collaboration with master
artisans in Italy, di Robilant embraces an element of chance,
relinquishing some of his control. It is within this delicate balance
between inspiration and execution that di Robilant’s work achieves a
complexity and refinement that solicits attention and reflection.
In
the month following the opening of this exhibition, di Robilant will
remain in San Diego as an artist in residence at MCASD, as he develops
his next body of work.
Tristano di Robilant
