A solo exhibition by Santiago Oddis.
As a collaboration between the production company Final Frontier and the renowned animation studio Le Cube the exhibition Life Between Blocks is now open at Silk Gallery. The gallery, which always plays with the limits between design, illustration, and contemporary art, is proposing a new exhibition to celebrate this increasingly hybridized scenario.
Like an open love letter, Oddis walks through the history of industrial design and resignifies iconic pieces in his playful and vibrant aesthetic. Specifically, he uses the forms of modern design from the mid-20th century as a starting point and in the exhibition “Life Between Blocks” he plays with and reinvents the spirit of the objects that have inspired him so much.
It is a dance between geometric figures and exciting colors as a celebration of life itself through the objects that have transformed it. Between painting, graphic work, and a light installation, the exhibition is an ode to the ideas that have revolutionized a way of life.
Santiago Oddis, Argentine designer and artist, takes us on an exciting graphic journey where the design, the subject and the transformation of both over time, fuse explosively and erase the borders of each discipline to become a powerful whole.
“Life Between Blocks”, a solo exhibition by Santiago Oddis, can be visited until February 20th Pelayo 52 or virtually at www.silk-gallery.com.
