New York: SHAFTWAY SOHO by Marcus Tremonto Edition 50

Marcus Tremonto occupies a rare position in contemporary art and design: an artist who does not merely use light but thinks with it. His practice, rooted in decades of experimentation with electroluminescent materials, carbon fiber, and sculptural form, has evolved into a body of work that treats light as both medium and message. Tremonto’s studio, Treluce Studios n.y.c — founded in 2002 with his partner Monica Tremonto — has become a laboratory for reimagining how illumination can shape perception, emotion, and spatial experience. Tremonto is often described as an artist who “draws with light,” a phrase that captures both the delicacy and precision of his approach. This idea — that light can be drawn, carved, or folded — remains central to his practice. Tremonto’s works often appear as lines suspended in space, glowing ribbons, or geometric constellations. They evoke the sensation of a gesture captured mid‑air, a moment of motion frozen in luminescent form. Marcus Tremonto’s photographic style can be understood as a parallel practice to his sculptural work — a way of observing the world through the lens of illumination. Where his studio pieces manipulate light directly, his photography documents the ways light already shapes our surroundings. It is a study of reflection, diffusion, and the subtle interplay between natural and built environments. Treluce’s projects have been featured in major exhibitions, internationally in color exhibitions, museums and group shows.
