Ugo Rondinone: still
WHAT
The Swiss artist is known for fusing nature with the human condition. In his latest exhibition, he presents 3 distinct bodies of work: life-sized, painted bronze and basalt sculptures of nuns and monks, minimalist Sun and Moon paintings, and stained glass timepieces with no hands. Through colour, form, and mass, the artist explores the intricate relationship between the inner self and the natural world, creating a sensory experience that bridges ancient power and contemporary allure.
WHY
The exhibition is a testament to the artist’s relentless pursuit of reinvention and material experimentation, pushing the boundaries of colour and texture. Viewers will be drawn into his ability to evoke the sublime through spiritual themes and meditative forms. The sculptures of nuns and monks merge ancient iconography with modern vitality, while the Sun and Moon paintings offer a serene reflection on nature; his timeless, handless clocks provoke thought on the ephemeral nature of time.
