BUILDING THE CHEESE WALL
STRAIGHT FROM THE STUDIO: COSIMO CAVALLARO
COSIMO CAVALLARO makes sculpture that resembles easily recognized natural forms, at least superficially. The sculpture establishes its own identity, however, creating an unnatural, almost magical presence. Color and form merge in Cavallaro’s objects, to the point where their earthy humor gives way to an ethereal spirit. They maintain an almost disembodied sensuousness as if pure color could jell into simple – but provocative – shapes, bringing to mind the works of fellow California light and space artists Ken Price and Ron Nagle. Cavallaro has exhibited at galleries across the United States as well as internationally, and his work has been featured in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the BBC, among other media.
“The bronze slice, wedge, and cube are all about making the art available to the masses. Everyone can have a slice, a cube, or a wedge of my art to experience.” – Cosimo Cavallaro
