Davide Balliano’s (b. 1983) work operates on the thin line of demarcation between painting and sculpture. Utilizing an austere, minimal language of abstract geometries in strong dialogue with architecture, his work investigates existential themes such as the identity of man in the age of technology and his relationship with the sublime. His sculptural practice translates the visual vocabulary found in his paintings into solid objects, drawing inspiration from the traditional arches and curves of the Roman architecture of his native Turin, Italy.
