Overview
Ronchini Gallery is pleased to present Variazioni, the first UK solo exhibition of renowned Italian sculptor Gianpietro Carlesso.

Although Carlesso’s works are physical explorations of the idea of the infinite, they are made of impactful materials, and consequently still firmly rooted in the realm of the tangible.
