No More Silent Objects

Gaetano Pesce, a true Gesamtkunstwerk artist working with all elements of art and design ranging from architecture to ornamentation and furniture. Since the 1960’s Pesce has been working primarily with resin, a progressive material which continues to elevate his practice as it has evolved over the last 50 years. Resin begins clear and viscous, and is transformed into object as Pesce adds color, form, rigidity, and content. Unrestricted by the properties of resin, Pesce has communicated narratives though his work, and has implied his own ideas and identity though these objects. The Nobody’s Perfect Chairs begin as liquid resin poured into two flat moulds, it cures into a flexible two dimensional form, which is folded and pinned into place to become functional. The title and various portrait styles of this chair suggest that each user is unique, that there is no singular form or shape that encompasses everyone.
