Description
“There is no right approach on how one looks at art. As there is no right approach on how to listen to music. A set of eyes, a set of ears will do.”
The best type of art is often that which somehow allows you to look, explore, take your time and feel. Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone manages to do this. He delves into the spiritual and transformative power of art, using universal symbols, toying with the balance between austerity and playfulness in his work. Drawing from personal grief and the impact of the AIDS crisis, Rondinone explores how his practice connects the mystical with the everyday, inviting viewers to slow down, reflect, and find meaning in simplicity. His approach is not necessarily time or era based, but one that creates something far longer lasting from life’s accumulation of significant moments.
“I’m not an artist who reacts to current political events. While I can acknowledge sorrow and mourning, I see myself as an artist of light. I want to guide the audience toward the light – toward the sun, the pure sun, shining, all the while, over all of us.”
