 The distorted, fascinating and  somehow disturbing sculptures by Robert Lazzarini…

wiew works at Deitch Gallery or on his personal site

“Robert Lazzarini’s sculptures are at once rigorously formal and intensely expressive. As distorted versions of familiar objects, they appear in the process of slipping- from three to two dimensions, from realism to abstraction, from this world to the next.
