In the emotional bronze and terracotta sculptures of Paola Grizi<\/a> (previously<\/a>), faces and hands merge with pages of books and manuscripts. Handwriting slides off the leaves onto skin and reliefs of eyes, noses, and mouths peer outward like knowledge and stories personified. Many of her works are scaled to sit on interior surfaces, while others, like \u201cInner Motion\u201d or \u201cLooking Ahead\u201d take on monumental proportions.<\/p>\n

Grizi currently has work permanently on view at Marciano Contemporary in Paris, Bel Air Fine Art in Luxembourg, and Gallery Van Dun in Oisterwijk, The Netherlands. This summer, pieces will also be included in a presentation at Gallery Maner in Port-Aven, France. See more on the artist\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
