AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rubik's Identity Series
Year 2026
The artist has created a Series of Unique Works. Each sculpture is a unique piece as it is handmade individually, which ensures its irreplicability. Variations in colors and faces among the cubes make them conceptually distinct, framing the work within the contemporary practice of the "variations on the theme".
Salvatore Alibrio's work transforms the iconic Rubik's Cube into a powerful metaphor of the psyche. By replacing the colored tiles with resin faces with introspective expressions, the artist explores the fragmentation of contemporary identity.
The contrast between the vibrant colors of pop art and the solemnity of human features creates an emotional short circuit: the human being is presented as a complex puzzle, an enigma waiting to be solved. The dynamic arrangement of the blocks suggests the constant mutability of the self, making this sculpture a fascinating dialogue between play, design and deep psychological analysis.
Salvatore Alibrio, born in 1991, is an artist who has developed 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 blends 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.
Don’t miss the chance to add this unique piece to your collection, completely made in Italy.
The work will be provided with a certificate of authenticity and will be shipped inside a rigid packaging.
The shipping cost includes a professional packing service, entrusted to a specialized company. This justifies a price that may be higher than standard.
Seller's Story
In the dialogue between matter and meaning, sculpture becomes a fragment of truth, capable of telling the stories of our contemporaneity and the roots that connect us to the past.
