About
The Sculpture Center announces an exhibition by Nick De Pirro, titled Solids, Part 2, from Feb.13 through Mar. 12, 2004. The free, public reception with the artist is Friday, Feb. 13, from 5 pm to 8 pm. De Pirro will give a gallery talk with a presentation at 5:30 pm during the reception.

Nick De Pirro is a sculptor and electronic media artist working in Columbus, Ohio. He has a BFA in fine arts from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana and a MFA in art from The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.

De Pirro’s sculptural work is fabricated from forged and machined steel, cast bronze, iron, lead, hydrostone, rubber, graphite, and grease, and often includes video, microprocessor controls, or other technologies. He creates precise, structural objects using machining technologies, then groups them with modifying objects that purposefully change the intention of the first object, creating an ironic situation or statement.

De Pirro is currently working as a professional artist, designer, and metal fabricator at his studio in the Arena District of downtown Columbus. He has recently completed a large public sculpture for the Columbus Metropolitan Library branch in New Albany, OH.
