Casey Kaplan gallery in New York is hosting an exhibition “Self Portraits” by artist Diego Perrone through February 18, 2017.The exhibition presents new glass sculptures and Biro on paper drawings by Italian artist Diego Perrone (b. 1970, Asti), marking it as his fourth exhibition with the gallery. Diego Perrone approaches his practice with aesthetic inventiveness by reimagining stylistic and classically technical processes, accessing a transitory space that merges representation with the indescribable.
The exhibition is centered on the bridge between convention and innovation and is built through Perrone’s exploration of a time-honored technique of casting glass. While his works on paper, the agitated red Biro drawings are guided by series of color and line, converge into forms that seem to shift and vibrate. Each artwork in this exhibition addresses and challenges an overwhelming yet calming feeling of emptiness, where even the most fleshly actions are coated by a tangible mist.
