Angelo Scardino - Corpo Urbano

Corpo Urbano is an original sculpture by Angelo Scardino, made in PLA and resin, with a glossy black structure, chromatic inserts, and gilded details. The work presents itself as a transforming architectural trunk: a vertical, perforated and stratified figure, in which the grid becomes skin, skeleton, and memory.

The sculpture recalls a trunk-city-organism, a fragile yet vital architecture traversed by solids, voids, grafts, and internal presences. The black lattice builds a form suspended between building, armor, and natural figure, almost cellular. The gilded details, visible inside the structure, suggest a precious memory hidden in the body of matter.

The work belongs to the artist's exploration of the relationship between architecture, body, matter, and urban transformation. Realized through three-dimensional modeling, manual intervention, and a resin finish, Corpo Urbano is a unique piece, suitable for private collections, contemporary environments, and minimal exhibition spaces.
