Lyora Pissarro X David Rodriguez

In this new series, Lyora Pissarro and David Rodriguez bring painting and sculpture into direct dialogue, using light as the unifying medium. The works are layered reliefs that merge hand-formed materials with embedded illumination, creating objects that are at once grounded and ethereal. Formed from earthy, organic materials fused with light, echoing geological strata and natural rhythms. Subtle illumination pulses through the layers, mirroring the quiet transitions of time in nature. At the centre, the crystal sphere—a primordial form—becomes both sun and moon, anchoring the work in cosmological time.

With a focus on the tactile, these surfaces hold the memory of touch, even as they dissolve into the atmosphere. These works thus offer us a paradox: they are both rigorously constructed objects and portals into immaterial experience. They embody the contemporary tension between technology and nature, between the artificial glow of LEDs and the enduring rhythms of earth and sky. Standing before them, the viewer is invited to look, and to inhabit a suspended moment where light, form, and color converge into something dreamlike and functional.
