My Art is Irrelevant
Tyrome Tripoli
Bushwick Gallery Petite
Tyrome Tripoli has been a staple in the Bushwick art scene since before it was on the map. A competent steel and ironworker his welding adorns the gallery on Wilson Ave, in the heart of the upcoming neighborhood. While he is a great welder, his funky plastic sculptures are what he’s most known for. His public sculpture of a tree has been a landmark of Wilson Ave for years. His glossy and colorful works have a personal handmade quality that Jeff Koon’s shiny objects lack. In some ways Tripoli’s works recall early 3D rendered graphics that have an eerily smooth luster. His playful abstractions have all the fun of a Stella or Mondrian.
With this visit I found that he had been creating interactive puzzles: Unassembled sculptures for the patron to piece together. It was a nice tangible element to the works.
