Sandy Skoglund Retrospective at Paci Contemporary Gallery in Brescia
The Paci Contemporary Gallery in Brescia is showcasing a significant retrospective of Sandy Skoglund, the Massachusetts-born artist renowned for her innovative installations. The exhibition, which started in May 2019, features major works from the 1970s to 2000s, including notable series like Motels, Food Still Life, and Fox Games. Skoglund meticulously crafts life-sized, surreal environments that blend vibrant colors with whimsical elements, such as green cats and blue dogs. Her latest piece, Winter, from 2018, is included in the Four Seasons series. A monograph edited by critic Germano Celant underscores her unique approach to merging reality and abstraction.
