Salvatore Alibrio - Rubik face

Rubik Faces Series
In the year 2026

The artist has created a Series of Unique Works. Each sculpture is a one-of-a-kind piece as it is handcrafted individually, ensuring its non-replicability. The variations in colors and faces among the cubes make them conceptually distinct, framing the work within the contemporary practice of 'variations on the theme.'

The sculpture is a work of art that reinterprets the classic Rubik's Cube in an innovative and surprising way. Instead of the traditional flat faces, the cube is made up of a series of carved portraits of human faces, each painted with vibrant and distinctive colors such as blue, red, green, white, and orange. This color choice not only echoes the aesthetic of the Rubik's Cube but also gives it a dynamic and lively appearance.
Each side of the cube features a unique combination of faces, creating a fascinating play of expressions and emotions that invites the viewer to explore and contemplate. The three-dimensional shapes and the texture of the faces add depth and realism, making the piece not just a decorative object but a true visual stimulus.
The cube is mounted on a black metal base, which serves to emphasize the color and shape of the piece, allowing a 360-degree view without distractions. This contrast between black and vibrant colors creates an eye-catching visual effect, making the artwork an excellent focal point in any environment. Art merges with nostalgia for play, offering a unique aesthetic experience.
