AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The work "Unboxing", made of terracotta and painted by hand with acrylic paints, is a fascinating and evocative sculpture, characterized by an intensely blue face that emerges from a ripped cardboard box. The face, rendered realistically, expresses a strong emotional charge, inviting the viewer to reflect on their emotions. The blue shade of the face creates a notable contrast with the beige background, composed of a mix of textures and shapes. The surface is irregular, almost as if the face were trying to break through a barrier, evoking themes of freedom and struggle. This sculpture symbolizes the search for authenticity and the vulnerability of the individual in the face of external pressures. The element of rupture and the play of colors make the work visually captivating and deeply evocative.

Salvatore Alibrio, born in 1991, is an artist who has developed a significant sculptural research, participating in exhibitions and symposia, including those promoted by the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania. His practice explores artistic language through an iconographic vocabulary that combines tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble, and clay, revealing a deep connection with his cultural roots. His work addresses contemporary social issues, often reflecting on current tragedies. Alibrio reinterprets the recognizable through a logic of fragmentation, stimulating critical reflections. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language, capable of expressing tension and strength.

The artwork will be supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
