The Weight of the Concrete focuses on a central aspect of Ezio Gribaudo’s practice: an investigation of materiality, imprint, and physical presence.

Gribaudo understood the artwork not as representation, but as a material act. Concrete appears not merely as a construction material, but as a carrier of trace, resistance, and time.

His works blur the boundaries between painting, relief, and object. Surfaces are pressed, layered, and inscribed, turning the work itself into a site of accumulation. Weight operates both literally and metaphorically, pointing to density, duration, and the irreversibility of inscription.

Within Gribaudo’s expanded approach to art—situated between printmaking, negative form, and sculptural presence—The Weight of the Concrete reveals how material does not simply receive form, but actively generates meaning as sedimented action, memory, and resistance to the ephemeral.
