Glass is a material long associated with illumination, enlightenment, and the divine. The cast glass sculptures featured in Italian artist Diego Perrone’s exhibition “Self Portraits” hold out the promise of personal revelation. Elegantly displayed on white plinths, many of the untitled works (all 2016) are vaguely cranial in shape. But instead of offering a transparent glimpse into the seat of reason and intellect, the sculptures appear as elegant monuments to opacity.

Casey Kaplan is pleased to announce the first summer group exhibition in the new gallery on 27th street. The title “I am attracted none the less…” introduces the unexplainable phenomena that lies at the heart of the exhibition—the notion that there is a visceral, transcendental connection that is experienced with certain images and objects.

Born in 1970 in Asti, Italy, Diego Perrone lives and works in Asti and Milan. Perrone uses a range of media, including video, photography, installation and sculpture. Influenced by Arte Povera, Transavanguardia and the Futurist movement, his practice explores existential questions that relate to man’s antagonist relationship to nature, and to the struggle inherent to the creative process. Perrone often utilizes the Italian countryside like Pier Paolo Pasolini as a metaphorical backdrop for a greater human drama, drawing on elements from local rituals and archaic symbols in order to create unsettling contemporary allegories. Endowed with a penchant for morbidity and the absurd, Perrone’s work recurringly engages with death, irrational violence, the passage of time and the precariousness of human life.
Diego Perrone has recently presented solo exhibitions at Villa del Principe - Palazzo di Andrea Doria, Genova, at Massimo di Carlo, Milano (2017), Museion, Bolzano (2013), Galerie Giti Nourbakhsch, Berlin (2008), Casey Kaplan Gallery, New York (2008), Galerie Giti Nourbakhsch, Berlin (2008), CAPC Musèe d’Art Contemporain and Bordeaux and MAMbo - Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna, Bologna (2007). His work has been shown in numerous museums and international exhibitions, including “Italics: Italian Art between Tradition and Revolution, 1968-2008” at Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and the Palazzo Grassi, Venice (2010), “After Nature” at The New Museum, New York (2008), “Of Mice and Men”, the 4th Berlin Biennial for Contemporary Art (2007), “Dialectics of Hope”, the 1st Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art (2005) and “La zona”, the Italian Pavilion for the 50th Venice Biennale (2003). He has received an award from The Fondazione Spinola Banna per L’Arte (2007)
and was a recipient of the Premio Querini Stampalia – Furla per l'arte, Italy (2002).
Diego Perrone is represented by Galleria Massimo de Carlo, Milan, Galerie Giti Nourbakhsch, Berlin and Casey Kaplan Gallery, New York.
