Dan Gluibizzi
Russo Lee Gallery is pleased to present 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 by Dan Gluibizzi. This exhibition brings together large-scale paintings on paper and free-standing two-sided sculpture paintings that draw from the vast reservoir of contemporary visual culture, including found photographs, digital clip art, and drawings of everyday objects. Gluibizzi's process is one of patient accumulation, images are gathered and tended over time, forming a visual ecology where meaning emerges through proximity and care. Still life and the figure serve as recurring frameworks, while ancient myth, personal memory, and everyday imagery converge in the same pictorial territory. The result is a body of work that feels simultaneously familiar and dreamlike, where stylized flowers, humble objects, and the human form inhabit a neighboring world that is not something remote or imagined, but something already present in the images and objects that surround us.
