Artist Nicolas Africano is fascinated with the sculptural and the gestural. In his series "Themes and Variations: The Garbo Figures," which includes six new major figurative cast glass sculptures, Africano works with old photographs by Cecil Beaton of Greta Garbo dressed as Pierrot the Clown in 1939. Each piece has its own haunting, life-like presence.
