Description from the seller
The artwork is composed of a grid arrangement of small colored tiles, each characterized by a thin, abstract facial imprint. The repetition of the facial motif within the grid suggests themes of identity, diversity, and unity. The structured surface adds depth and invites tactile exploration, while the overall composition 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 an apparently uniform scheme.
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 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 reflections. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language, capable of expressing tension and strength.
"In the dialogue between matter and meaning, sculpture becomes a fragment of truth, able to tell the stories of our contemporaneity and the roots that unite us to the past." - S. Alibrio
The work will be supplied with an authenticity certificate and will be shipped inside a rigid packaging.
