Ugo Rondinone

Ugo Rondinone creates a diverse body of work spanning sculpture, painting, photography, and installation, often characterized by its monumental scale and profound engagement with natural and humanistic themes. His practice employs a wide array of materials, from cast bronze and painted stone to neon and found objects, transforming them into evocative forms.

Rondinone’s art frequently explores the passage of time, the cycles of nature, and the emotional states of being. His iconic stacked stone sculptures, vibrant neon signs, and contemplative figures invite viewers into a meditative dialogue, blurring the lines between the artificial and the organic, the ephemeral and the enduring.

With a career marked by significant international exhibitions, Rondinone’s work has been presented in major institutions worldwide, from the Centre Pompidou to Storm King Art Center. He continues to live and work in New York, where his studio remains a site for the ongoing exploration of universal human experiences.
