Sergio Demo
Demo is an installation artist known for his assemblages of salvaged materials and strategic use of light. Based in North Adams, Massachusetts, Demo works primarily with found objects and rusted metals that reference the industrial past of his hometown. He incorporates discarded materials like old scrap metal, and wiring, granting new purpose to objects that have been weathered by time. Strategic lighting transforms Demo's pieces, casting shadows and illuminating surfaces to reveal new textures and dimensions, drawing focus to the visual interplay between materials within the assembled pieces.
He embraces qualities like oxidation, decay, and the passage of time in his artwork, seeing beauty in damage and imperfection. His work encourages new perspectives and creates a visual language formed through the synthesis of light and found objects.
"I Resurrect things. Things that have been abandoned, discarded, left as junk. I believe in the potential of materials even when it appears they've lost all possibilities."
