Angelo Scardino - Membrana del Pensiero

Contemporary sculpture crafted in PLA and resin, a unique piece by Italian artist Angelo Scardino.
The work depicts a human head suspended between presence and dissolution, built through an organic lattice structure that evokes cellular membranes, neural networks, biological architectures and generated digital forms. The black, glossy, perforated surface envelops the face like skin—fragile yet resilient—while allowing glimpses inside of bright, resinous volumes with a tangible texture.
The sculpture arises from the encounter of digital modeling, 3D printing, and manual intervention, blending contemporary technology with traditional plastic sensibility. The contrast between the black lattice and the light inner material creates a dialogue between void and fullness, identity and fragmentation, body and memory.
The piece is conceived as wall sculpture: an intense, elegant, contemporary presence suitable for private collections, professional studios, modern environments, or exhibition spaces.
The work is part of Angelo Scardino’s artistic research, focused on the relationship between matter, body, memory, organic architecture, and the transformation of form.

Artist biography

Angelo Scardino was born in 1986 in Grottaglie (TA), a ceramic heartland, where he began his artistic career. At the Liceo Artistico “Lisippo” of Manduria he trained in plastics and sculpture, then earned in 2007–2008 a first-cycle university degree with top honors (110/110 and honors) at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Lecce. In 2009–2010 he earned a second-cycle degree, again with top honors, with a theoretical thesis titled “The Sculpture of the Void,” devoted to the study and realization of sculptural models based on negative space.
In 2012 he moved to Mantua, and currently lives and works as a lecturer in Verona. His works are part of public and private collections in Italy and abroad.
