Rob Strati is a sculptor, painter, printmaker and conceptual artist who studied Art History at Ohio State University. His most recent series, titled Fragmented, originated in 2020 when a plate belonging to his late mother-in-law broke.Strati then used the remaining ceramic pieces to create compositions which are fantastic and dreamlike by drawing in ink on paper motifs from the plate and from his imagination. About the concept behind the work, Strati has said, “I often think of how new realities are made from times that can feel devastating, there is a process of confusion, reorientation, picking up the pieces, using what is left and moving into a new future.”
