Robert Lazzarini

Robert Lazzarini's blood-splattered wallpapers and sculptures of revolvers, violins, or skulls are recreated to scale from the materials of the original objects (steel, walnut, bone) and distorted by computer-calibrated algorithms. The skewed yet hyper-real objects evoke disorientation, suspense, and unease despite their beauty. Lazzarini has exhibited at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, CT; Brooklyn Museum of Art, NY; Deitch Projects, NY; and P.S.1, NY. His work is in numerous public collections including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; Walker Art Center, MN; and Whitney Museum of American Art, NY.
