Robert Lazzarini

(born 1965-)

American

Robert Lazzarini is an American sculptor whose works merge extreme realism with extreme distortion. Lazzarini recreates familiar objects to scale out of their original materials, while deforming them in seemingly implausible ways. He employs digital rendering and 3-D scans to remake the original object in distorted proportions. The physical, psychological and emotional implications of this distortion yield works that are both amazing and unsettling.
