Elegant creations

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.
