Untitled Circle
Artist: Bruno Romeda


What:
For many years, Bruno Romeda, has focused on the most simple, absolute geometric shapes - the square, the circle, and the triangle. From time to time, he will undertake variations on his chosen repertory of shapes - a circle warps into an ellipse or is truncated to an arc; a square is stretched out into a long rectangle. By starting with elemental shapes and giving form to each individual work, it is the directness with which he works, and yet with infinite subtlety, that gives his sculpture such authority and at the same time makes it so seductive.

His sculpture has been described not as a volume, around which one might walk, but rather as a "threshold": to both that which the eye can perceive -- the far horizon -- as well as to the void, the unknown. Illusion is the basis of Romeda’s sculptural psychology.

So What
These sculptures, when placed outdoors, interact with the landscape by framing and articulating space.
The volume of space that it captures because the majority of the piece is a void
Elegance of details in a simple, but never-ending shape
