"What I'm attracted to and like to explore is the border line state between the domestic – the indoors and the outside – the larger than life. A sense of awkward scale, but never too far off."

[Tristano di Robilant (b. 1964, London, England) works in both sculpture and drawing, using a variety of media from bronze and aluminum to glass. He has shown in various group exhibitions, and has had solo exhibitions at Paolo Curti, Milan, Italy (2001); Annina Nosei Gallery, New York City (2001); Raum für Bilder, Berlin, Germany (1999); and Holly Solomon Gallery, New York City (1995, 1993). Di Robilant lives and works in Rome.]
