Tristano Di Robilant

Tristano di Robilant, born in London in 1964, grew up in Italy and England. He graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he was influenced by the lectures of architectural historian and critic Reyner Banham (1922–1988). His first solo exhibition was held at the Holly Solomon Gallery in New York. He later collaborated with curator and gallerist Lance Fung on a series of glass sculptures titled “Domestic Temples”, now part of the Sol LeWitt Collection.

Invited by Giorgio Guglielmino to Calcutta, Tristano travelled repeatedly to Bengal to create a series of silkscreens in collaboration with Pria Lall. He has exhibited widely across Europe and the United States, including at Annina Nosei Gallery and the National Exemplar Gallery in New York, as well as Galleria Bonomo and Paolo Curti in Italy.

In 2016, Anthony Graham curated an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego focusing on works in glass, ceramic, and bronze. In 2019, he exhibited at Beatrice Burati Anderson Art Space & Gallery in Venice, together with Andrew Huston, on the occasion of the two-person show “Venice Works”. Tristano currently lives and works in Rome and Ripabianca.
