Marc D'Estout's absurdist 'domestic objects' are haikus to the uncanny - 48 hills
Briefly

The Triton Museum in Santa Clara is showcasing 20 years of work by Marc D'Estout, featuring about 50 steel sculptures. D'Estout’s work combines elements of Surrealist humor, Minimalist form, and a craftsman's attention to detail, presenting sculptures that often resemble absurd, machine-like domestic objects. The exhibition titled 'A Singular Evolution' runs through April 19 and demonstrates D'Estout's unique artistic voice, effectively utilizing materials to convey themes of humor and critique, emphasizing both the visual and conceptual layers of his work.
D'Estout's sensibility marries Surrealist humor with Minimalist form and a craftsman's love of surface and patina, creating a unique blend in his sculptures.
The eccentric, absurdist humor of his modestly-sized constructions is on full display in A Singular Evolution, a large show highlighting 50 pieces.
