Gustavo Vélez's 'Le Dimensioni dell’Equilibrio' Transforms Pietrasanta

Colombian artist Gustavo Vélez presents 'Le Dimensioni dell’Equilibrio,' a solo exhibition curated by Francesca Sborgi with contributions from Eike Schmidt, running from June 11 to September 20, 2026, across multiple sites in Pietrasanta, Italy. The show marks thirty years of Vélez's career and his deep connection to the town, known for its sculptural traditions. Works are installed at the Pontile di Marina di Pietrasanta, Piazza XXV Maggio, Piazza Carducci, Piazza Statuto, Piazza Duomo, and the Complesso di Sant’Agostino. Vélez's sculptures in bronze, marble, and steel engage with the landscape and urban fabric, exploring geometric abstraction, negative space, and kinetic interaction—some pieces invite viewers to move, rotate, and interact. At Sant’Agostino, the exhibition unfolds in three stations: a reconstructed atelier with a video documentary, a gallery of sculptural objects, and a church space where works like 'Relieve Cúbico' (2026), 'Núcleo en Movimento' (2026), 'Cosmica' (2021), 'Relieve Riflesso' (2026), and 'Vaciò' (2024) dialogue with sacred architecture, emphasizing transparency and light.
