PIERO SPADARO_CRYSTALLINE_
MAY 5 – JUNE 10, 2021
Andrea Schwartz Gallery is pleased to announce the third solo
exhibition with Piero Spadaro.
“Like a horizon, crystalline is measured by relativity and contrast.
An origin story of sorts; where one comes from and where one’s
heading.” – Piero Spadaro
Having worked in glitter and resin for over a decade, Piero Spadaro is
no stranger to the baggage his choice material carries. Glitter in
particular can cause scrutiny depending on function, age, gender, and
orientation when used in unconventional ways. However, by breaking
with convention, Spadaro works to achieve optimal light engagement in
his work, taking it in and sending it back out.
Much like a stone that has been cut and polished to achieve
brilliance, Spadaro’s compositions use similar geometry and patterns
to attract light. These compositions also symbolize his pursuit to
stay on the lighter side of life, especially after a challenging year.
To Spadaro, this new collection of paintings act as a favorites mix
tape, a survey of past moves with current clarity.
