Dilmos:
Ron Gilad. In Ron Gilard's The Line,The Arch,The Circle
and the Square exhibition at Dilmos objects are the
end-result of what might be called "three-dimensional concepts".
He uses simple geometries to describe the
transformation of objects, in an imaginary dimension. Many of the ideas he has
been developing for years relate to foundational concepts of the history of
form, as well as to architecture, art, and design.
Dilmos:
Ron Gilad. Led both by instinct and reason, Gilad's goal is to
frame everyday objects within perfect geometry, altering their function and
giving them new life. The objects exhibited – seats, coat racks, mirrors, and
light fixtures - confirm how successfully and freely Gilad moves among
disparate crafts and a wide range of materials. One example is the bench series
which picks up on the classic architectonic shape of the arch; using extremely
refined techniques to work with marble, he handles this material as if it was
as malleable and light as paper. With note of humor and irony, Gilad takes up
the opportunity to invite us into a "theatre of the absurd". Here
objects are not what they seem, or more accurately, shapes do not immediately
suggest function, quite on the contrary. In this exhibition for Dilmos, each
object is the translation of an argument and each idea synthesizes a thought.
Dilmos:
Ron Gilad. The Line,
emerges from a cut in the wall to form a thin iron
line, which, not without kindness, supports a candle.
