Rhode, Robin
Tension

Englisch/Italienisch. Texts by Michele Robecch and Andrea Bellini. Graphic design by Stefan Senger.

The publication emphasizes the creative influence of the Italian Art movement Arte Povera during the early sixties and seventies on Rhode’s hybrid street-based aesthetic. The creative dialogue transformed urban landscapes and interior spaces into imaginary worlds, compressing space and time, as two-dimensional renderings become the subject of three-dimensional interactions by a sole protagonist. Rhode’s work reveals a mastery of illusion, a rich range of historical and contemporary references, and an innate skill for blending high and low art forms.
