Rocco Turino
Parallax Series - Occluder - large, minimalist, powder coated steel sculpture

2023

About the Item

Reminiscent of the angles and form found in origami, this intriguing sculpture stands tall against the sky. This is Rocco Turino. Working from his own foundry in London, England, Turino cuts, welds and shapes metal into compelling abstracted sculptures. Turino was inspired by the enigmatic work of the famous Swiss sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti. This contemporary piece is created from aluminum—three tall flat panels of metal with ‘folded’ edges joined at the top…painted in bright white with accents in sky blue and bright green. “Working this way (making objects through improvisation) can really surprise you and challenge how you execute the finished work.” Rocco Turino Born in Italy, Turino grew up in Ontario. He graduated from OCAD’s sculpture/Installation program before moving to Montreal to complete an MFA at Concordia University in the mid 90’s. There he received a McConnell Fellowship that enabled him to attend Glasgow of Art for a semester as an exchange student. He returned to the UK in 2000 and established his own foundry and business in London where he has continued to live and work. Turino has exhibited in Canada and the UK and completed commissions for residences in Mallorca, London, Toronto and Los Angeles.

  • "Philomena Dates a Photon" mixed media sculpture
    Located in Glen Ellen, CA
    This large-scale suspended sculpture is made from welded and powder-coated steel, repurposed highway reflectors, and a cut-glass sphere. It is pictured here installed outdoors with an optional welded steel stand, but the sculpture can also be suspended from another structure or stand, indoors or outdoors. Watch the short video to see "Philomena Dates a Photon" spinning from the ceiling in an indoor gallery setting! Jeff Glode Wise makes wildly exuberant sculptures. He utilizes such diverse materials as steel, wood, stone, glass, concrete, bronze, and gold -- whichever is the most appropriate for the aesthetic and functional purposes at hand. He then transforms these materials through various techniques and crafts honed for years through his practice of jewelry making: welding, carving, casting, meticulous fitting, plating, etc. Art and the making of objects have defined Jeff Wise...
