Peter Soriano (born 23 September 1959) is a contemporary French-American artist and sculptor whose work has been exhibited in galleries and museums since 1994. He is represented by Lennon, Weinberg, Inc. in New York City, by Galerie Jean Fournier in Paris, and by Galerie Bernard Jordan in Zurich. His works are included in the collections of the Colby College Museum of Art in Maine, the Morgan Library & Museum in New York, the Harvard Art Museums at Harvard University, the Fonds national d'art contemporain (FNAC) in Paris, the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, and the Wanås Foundation in Sweden, among other institutions. == Career == Soriano's first solo exhibitions, in the 1990s at Lennon, Weinberg in New York and at Galerie Jean Fournier in Paris, established his career as a sculptor known for his brightly colored, pop-surealist biomorphic works in polyester resin described as "part toy, part tool, part creature." While some critics saw Soriano's resin sculptures as cartoony and cheerful—"good-humored...industrial biomorphism," to quote the New York Times〔Pepe Karmel, "Art in Review," The New York Times, March 24, 1995]〕—others suggested that the works were more complex and "vexing" than they first appeared. In the mid-2000s, while in a six-month residency at the Atelier Calder in Saché, France, Soriano began moving in a "radical" new direction. His new work, which now combined sculpture and painting, consisted of conceptual wall installations made of aluminum tubing, steel cable, and spray paint. The critic Raphael Rubinstein, an editor at Art in America, has cited Soriano's wall installations as important and radical examples of "provisionality," a style of art intentionally made to appear "casual, dashed-off, tentative, unfinished or self-cancelling." In 2011, Soriano's work was included in "Provisional Painting," an exhibition at Modern Art in London that also featured work by Richard Tuttle, Julian Schnabel, and Raoul De Keyser. More recently, Soriano's work has moved even further away from traditional sculpture. Eliminating the use of steel cables and pipes, his January 2013 solo exhibition at Lennon, Weinberg consisted exclusively of large, spray-painted wall murals suggestive of graffiti. In the tradition of Sol LeWitt, Soriano's wall murals can be replicated by following a set of written instructions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Soriano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
