For many years, Bruno
Romeda, who was born in Italy, has focused on the most simple, absolute
geometric shapes - the square, the circle, and the triangle. From time
to time, he will undertake variations on his chosen repertory of shapes
- a circle warps into an ellipse or is truncated to an arc; a square is
stretched out into a long rectangle. By starting with elemental shapes
and giving form to each individual work, it is the directness with which
he works, and yet with infinite subtlety, that gives his sculpture such
authority and at the same time makes it so seductive.
His sculpture has
been described not as a volume, around which one might walk, but rather
as a "threshold" : to both that which the eye can perceive --
the far horizon -- as well as to the void, the unknown. Illusion is the
basis of Romedas sculptural psychology. His environmental sculpture,
placed outdoors, interact with the landscape by framing and articulating
space.
Kouros Gallery has published a number of books and catalogues on Romedas
work, both in hard and soft cover.
