Kristi Cavataro
Kristi Cavataro and Robert Lostutter
This intergenerational exhibition brings together an abridged survey of Robert Lostutter’s paintings and drawings (from the late-1960s to the present) with Kristi Cavataro’s recent stained glass sculptural works.
Robert Lostutter is known for creating meticulously-rendered hybrid human forms in surreal settings. Seemingly beatific, even when contorted with exposed innards, these adorned creatures demonstrate both a technical mastery and wild imagination that is at once bound up with and reaches beyond the human figure.
Occupying the gallery’s floor, Kristi Cavataro’s sculptures, constructed out of opaque or translucent stained glass, create abstract shapes that evoke biomorphic resonances. Taking advantage of the abundant natural light of the gallery’s large windows, these closed volumes reveal an interior space defined by their color. More than a superficial skin, the color in the glass goes all the way through the medium.
