Crash I
One of Mastrangelo’s first pieces of furniture was entitled “Salt Drum.” The piece was inspired by an aerial view of sea meeting land. Crash I pays homage to what now feels like an iconic symbol of his early works.
Fernando Mastrangelo
Fernando Mastrangelo is a Brooklyn-based contemporary artist best known for his sculptures, furniture and large-scale wall works by using typically commonplace materials such as salt, coffee, sand, glass and cement. Mastrangelo has always been inspired by his surroundings – the people, the places and the politics. His works are intriguingly contradictory; both rugged and refined, durable and delicate, formal and functional. Mastrangelo took a conceptual approach to rug making in the Reverence edition for Edward Fields, bringing the same spirit of consideration in each grain of materials in Mastrangelo’s sculptural works.
