Meteopathic

Trolley Gallery presents the first UK solo show of Italian artist Benedetto Pietromarchi.

Having moved from country to country as a child, his work is influenced by travel and attendant concepts of displacement. These influences merge with formal training in architecture and classical sculpture in London and Carrara. Three aspects: travel, architecture and figurative sculpture, form the basis of his work.

Notions of the ephemeral, coupled with the solidity and permanence of architectural sculpture, are intended to make the viewer question the origins of what is presented to them. Pietromarchi presents scenes not inherently comprehensible, but which trigger some form of unconscious recognition. The surreal juxtaposition of objects removed from their expected context is rooted in the artist’s exploration of the unconscious imagination and its relation to the human condition. Bachelard, Kant, and Merleau-Ponty have informed and inspired aspects of the work.

For his latest project, Pietromarchi fused lead sculptures in the studio, connected them to nineteenth-century glass buoys and then transferred them to the Mediterranean Sea. He later returned to film the suspended pieces, capturing an arresting tension between stasis and incident.
