Luis PardiniOne of the most engaging aspects of Mr. Pardini's work is the perspective he establishes. His images suggest aerial or underground veiws of courtyards, piping systems, walls, roadways, and stairways. He captures the rhythm and trajectory of their movements and the relationships between them as they cavort, converge, turn and shift in focus. Shapes that resemble machinery and tool parts -- joints, hooks, wheels, bolts and tubes -- stress the oppressive and ambiguous relationship between man and technology. The dominating shades of grey heighten the feeling of cold isolation. His technical prowess and attention to spatial elements imbue his work with an eerie quality.
Luis Pardini is a Cuban-born artist of Italian ancestry who came to the U.S. in 1980.
