'Turning Point' explores Gilbert Boro’s creative process and the indirect path of exploration—where progress is not always moving forward but readjusting, stepping away and proceeding in a new direction. Boro’s work is constantly evolving—changing size, form and hue—while elusive color and kinetic elements allow individual works to change on their own. This piece is part of an ever-changing array of work that finds play, quirk and candor in the not-so-linear process of thought.

Gilbert Boro is an abstract sculptor with a focus on the interplay of space, place, and form. In his work, he prefers formal clarity to ornamentality and he relies on variations of complementary elements, such as planes juxtaposed with curves. Boro materials include stone, steel, wood, aluminum, and plastics. Where appropriate, he will use computer-aided design to model the spatial relationships of his working drafts. The challenges and joys of creative activity are found in the visualization - as much as in the execution - of an idea. For Gilbert, working at sculpture is a compulsion not just a possibility. He believes that art doesn’t need to solve or interpret societal problems. Rather, the virtue of art is that it allows us to regain the creativity that we all had naturally as children. His approach engages with the entire process of sculpture, as he respects the history of figuration as well as the importance of the human form. His artistic process begins with the traditional practice of sketching and working out the form with maquettes. The specific scale of his sculptures is based on a consideration of sculpture as more than an object in space. It becomes a space in and of itself. Boro has received two traveling fellowships and held many visiting teaching positions. His work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and purchased by collectors, corporations and foundations in the US and Europe.
