• Resumen

  • The article informs about an exhibition by artist Johannes Girardoni at exhibition center Stephen Haller. Pairing wax colored in rich hues with wood, artist Johannes Girardoni concocted a winning combination. The texture and aroma of his works are as captivating as their curved forms and dramatic colors. The titles of the pieces (all 2004) reflect the names of the pigments that Girardoni mixes into various types of beeswax from all over the world. While the colors lean toward loud, the sculpted shapes are quiet and subtle, both whimsical and architectural. These pieces derive strength from their simple, straightforward contrast of materials: the fabricated and the found.
