Salon 94 Design is thrilled to present Gaetano Pesce’s fourth solo presentation with the gallery “No More Silent Objects” opening next Tuesday September 14th at 3 East 89th Street. In a career spanning over 50 years, Pesce has been guided by a constant drive towards innovation and experimentation. A true Gesamtkunstwerk artist, Pesce has worked within all elements of art and design ranging from architecture to ornamentation and furniture. Since the 1960’s Pesce has been working primarily with resin, pushing the boundaries of the material to communicate powerful narratives though his work, implying his own ideas and identity though his objects. “Long gone is the time of mute objects and decorative architecture. Today they should express the places where they are built on, the identity, culture, geography, and should no longer transport "the same" to different locations. In general, architecture is no longer made with abstract forms, but with buildings whose volumes express recognizable figures. So too the objects, they express not only functionality but also the reality from which they derive. They can suggest a political position, a religious belief, a philosophical thought, or the profound thoughts of those who design them. All this with figurative forms that communicate. The new creativity is done with all this: it no longer repeats to please a foolish market, or to align itself with a now outdated International Style.”— Gaetano Pesce, August 2021 Please join us in celebration of this revolutionary body of work spanning the last 40 years. #GaetanoPesce @salon94design 📸 Portrait by @joshitiola
