In 2004, after a six-month residency at the Calder Studio in Saché, France, Soriano began making wall-based sculptures, introducing taut steel cables and metal tubes to his work. With the addition of spray paint applied directly to the wall, these installations became increasingly two-dimensional until, in 2012, Soriano eliminated the structural elements altogether. His work now consists exclusively of large-scale wall drawings composed of acrylic and spray paint, as well as related works on pleated and folded paper. Born in 1959 in Manila, Philippines, Soriano received his B.A. in Art History from Harvard College and studied at Skowhegan before moving to New York City in 1981. Since 1994, his work has been represented in New York by Lennon, Weinberg, where this is his seventh solo gallery show. In 2013, he had solo shows at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art in Rockport and at Galerie Jean Fournier in Paris. In 2015, his largest wall drawing to date, Permanent Maintenance, was commissioned by the Colby College Museum of Art in Waterville, Maine, where it was on view for a year. Soriano’s work has been exhibited at prominent galleries and institutions in the US and Europe, including Galerie Jean Fournier in Paris, Domaine de Kerguéhennec in Brittany, Galerie Bernard Jordan in Paris and Zurich, FRAC Auvergne, and Musée des Beaux-Arts Turcoing. In 2014, he created and installed a wall drawing in South Korea, for the Busan Biennalle, that was later shown at De Markten in Brussels. Work by the artist is included in a number of public collections, including the Harvard Art Museums, the Colby College Museum of Art, the Morgan Library and Museum, the Fonds national d’art contemporain (FNAC) in Paris, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain in Paris, the Wanås Foundation in Sweden. Soriano lives and works in New York City and Penobscot, Maine.
