Massimo Galleni - Sculptor in Pietrasanta

News

Repost from @nighgallery Iranian-born British artist Reza Aramesh repositions reportage images, usually from highly mediated events of war, subjugation, displacement, and duress. The artist transforms these source images into sculptural volumes based on European art history and its hegemony of beauty in the service of power. The results are unsettling, as desirable as they are objectionable. The artist balances the work precariously between empathy and cruelty. asking his viewers to consider not what beautv "is." but what beauty "does."

The work presented preludes Aramesh's forthcoming solo show "Number 207" curated by Serubiri Moses in collaboration with MUNTREF, Buenos Aires and Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami taking place on the occasion of the 60th Venice biennale at Chiesa San Fantin that opens on April 16th in Venice.

Reza Aramesh, "Site of the Fall - Study of the Renaissance Garden Action 217: At 11:30 am, Monday 16 July 2012," 2023, hand carved Nero Belgio and Rosa Portogallo polished marble, 39 ¾" X 15 ¼" X 10"
