Galerie Dutko’s current exhibition of around 20 works by artist and sculptor Bruno Romeda (b. 1933) has the intriguing title ‘Sculptures Utiles’. Influenced by the minimalist pieces of Carl André and Donald Judd, Romeda’s work in patinated bonze is based on three basic shapes: the square, triangle and circle. Inspired by primitive geometric forms these works exploit the solidity and volume of the bronze structure while creating strong lyrical patterns with shadows resulting in pieces that are discreet, monumental and noble. It is their stark simplicity of form that appeals to me combined with the surface texture of the bronze reminiscent of fossilised lava.

The exhibition at Galerie Dutko, (Ile Saint Louis) continues until 31st July.
