The strong, the physical, the material … the immaterial, the rhythmic, the ambiguous and the introspective….. are multiple facets presented elegantly and yet so humanly in Over/Under. Carolina Sardi´s sculptures convey maximum information through minimal use of form. For Sardi, the concept is as important as the execution and the notion of positive and negative space can easily become transposable. What appears simple at first glance may become, upon a closer review, intricate. Over/Under, is composed of a precise combination of organically shaped steel pieces, arranged in an invisible, mathematical grid on the stark, white walls of the Gallery at Flashpoint. Each element of the installation is unique and maintains its individual presence. The viewer will witness the creation of an atmospheric landscape produced by the rigid materialness of each piece and the shadows cast on the gallery walls. Carolina Sardi’s intense production and direct handling of the work stamps it visually with numerous layers. Carolina Sardi was born in Argentina and currently lives in Miami. She earned her MFA in sculpture from the National University of La Plata at Argentina. Sardi currently has two installations on view in Miami: Forest at the Bass Museum of Art and Blue at The Art Gallery at Government Center. Some past solo exhibitions include Bee at Mia Gallery, Miami International Airport, Imaginary Lines at the Museum of the Americas in Washington, DC, and Free to be Captive at the Museum of Art of Fort Lauderdale. Sardi’s works are held by private, public and corporate collectors from New York, Chicago, Washington, DC, Houston, Miami, New Orleans, Dallas, Europe and Latin America. Rody Douzoglou, curator of Over/Under, established Douz & Mille to provide Fine Art consultation to private collectors and institutions as well as to promote independent curatorial efforts and exhibition projects mainly in the Washington, DC area.
