14th January 1996 – 14th April 1996
This exhibition was one of the first to display Sergio Camargo’s later marble works alongside his earlier wooden reliefs; this was the only showing in Britain of the exhibition, which toured from 1994.
The sculptures themselves demonstrated an obvious interest in the interplay of form and light, their appearance always inflected by the lighting that enveloped them. His sculptures, always containing an unexpected element, disrupt the notion of having a correct positioning, containing the potential to be exhibited horizontally or vertically or somewhere in between.
Rather than inert and static, the mathematical, geometric forms exuded a deliberate physicality, in which simple shapes are bestowed a powerful sense of tangible presence. Dominating their spatial environment, these sculptures transcended singular symbolic meaning, their signification at once potentially infinite and imperceptible.
