Salvatore Alibrio, 2025, Human Cloth, a mixed media artwork in a multicolour grid of small tiles with abstract facial impressions, 30 × 30 × 3 cm, unique edition, Italy, in excellent condition, hand-signed, certificate of authenticity included, shipped in a rigid envelope.
Description from the seller
The artwork consists of a grid arrangement of small colored tiles, each featuring a thin, abstract facial imprint. The repetition of the facial motif within the grid suggests themes of identity, diversity, and unity. The textured surface adds depth and invites tactile exploration, while the overall structure evokes a sense of order and rhythm. This artwork could explore the intersection between individuality and collectivity through the lens of the abstract portrait. The use of color is particularly striking, emphasizing both contrast and cohesion. The piece could be seen as a commentary on how faces, while unique, are part of a larger mosaic of human experience. It invites viewers to reflect on the diversity of expression and emotion within a seemingly uniform scheme.
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 the artistic language through an iconographic vocabulary that unites 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 reflection. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language capable of expressing tension and strength.
The work will come with a certificate of authenticity and will be shipped in a rigid outer shell.
