Robert Strini Lecture Saturday May 16, 6:00 PM. Victory Hall, Scottsville, VA

Robert Strini sculpture piece removed from crate after 41 years.

In my new building which I built after my fire, I have decided to use it as a exhibition space for my art.   I have a small barn about 300 yards from this space that I use for construction of my sculpture.

I wanted to exhibit some old sculpture so I opened a crate after 41 years and was surprised at what I saw.  This is Sherdian Piece, built in 1973 at a work shop in Canada.  I love this piece and it was in remarkable shape.  Made of laminated ash, oak and maple, the piece is in good shape with no cracks or separations in the wood.  During this time I built good crates to house my work. Let me know your thoughts.                 

                                                                                                                  Thank You, Robert Strini

Two new tri-pod pieces finished in new studio

I just finished these two pieces that I am excited about. Both are tri-pod pieces, one with a red wheel and one with a green wheel. Let me know your thoughts.   Thank You   Robert

Bicycle Piece

 When the painter Andre' Durain was on his deathbed, Giacometti the sculptor came to his side

 and asked if there was anything he could get his good friend.  Andre' looked up and said,

"a bicycle and a piece of blue sky"  Bicycle Piece is 10 ft. wide x 6.5 ft. tall and 3 ft. deep.
 All the black is steel and the fender shape is covered in sheet lead. Two piano legs are under the Blue  sphere. Both the sphere and ring are wood painted.   I love this piece.        

                                                                                                                         Robert Strini

Studio Burning

My studio burned down and I lost everything except my creative Spirit.
I am busy back to work and very excited about the new work.
I will soon post new images for all of you to see.  Thank you, Robert

Robert Strini exhibits New piece at Chroma Projects for the Arts

                                                      The Package

                             Loss of something you care for and how

                             you deal with it is what this piece is about.

                             The I -beam,  a symbol of strength supports
                             the weight of all the memories of the loss.

                             The mattress becomes the final resting place

                             of these memories. Other objects are simply 

                             references to specific moments you had with

                             your loss. Finally the marble X, marks the

                             spot, the end, and the moment of letting go.
