Dep Art Out, in collaboration with the Thomas Brambilla Gallery, is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by American artist Bryan Hunt (b. 1941), which opens on August 10th, 2026.
For this specific occasion, Hunt has created an extraordinary, site-specific sculpture titled Standing Spiral. The two meters height artwork was conceived in direct response to the iconic, primal architectural geometry of the trullo.
Standing Spiral features a distinct conical base, which serves as a deliberate and poetic homage to the traditional stone-coned roofs—the chiancarelle—that define the landscape of the Itria Valley. By intertwining his signature fluid form with the local rural vernacular, Hunt bridges the gap between historical heritage and modern abstraction.
Placed within the limestone core of the trullo, the sculpture dialogues with its internal volumes, drawing the viewer's eye up toward the vaulted zenith.
Hunt subverts architectural weight, converting a historic symbol of rural shelter into an ethereal, upward-spiraling line of inquiry. The work functions as a physical axis mundi, mapping a direct line between ground-bound masonry and the open sky.
