About the Artwork
Print & Object is proud to announce the release of a new series of sculptural works by interdisciplinary artist Giulia Piera Livi. With a practice historically anchored in large-scale installation artwork, overtaking walls and floors to create a fully immersive space, Livi embarked on a journey of petite-proportion by stretching her practice to engage with small-scale sculptural work.
Combining domestic materials and industrial objects with new shapes and surfaces, her practice intervenes on the conventional utility of materials to invite a hybrid state that blends familiarity with peculiarity and dream-like with functionality. Inlayed with a déjà vu feeling, her practice embraces the referential power of objects and the everyday to intersect with the history of interior design, minimalism, and the contemporary consumer culture.
In this series, Livi inverts the geometric grid of domestic tile by molding it to organic curves and cascading forms that are hyper-saturated with electric gradient color relations. Each sculptural work vibrates with such rich pigmentation that the object’s presence creates a halo-effect of glowing color that radiates onto the surface where it resides. In this, the crispness of her lines and the cleanliness of her forms are softened by a reverberating color shadow that further enriches the dream-like state of her lush visual language.
Gentle curves and rippling waves push against hard-line edges and retro-like gradients to create objects charged with tension and contradiction. Print and Object is honored to present this new series on our platform.
