AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Bas-relief composed of small and precious faces. It is a one-of-a-kind work because each tile has been painted and manually inserted onto a wooden backing. The materials used are plaster/gesso (resin) and acrylic colors, all of excellent quality, ideal for furnishing contemporary spaces.
The artwork consists of a grid arrangement of small colored tesserae, each characterized by a delicate and abstract facial imprint tongue. The repetition of the 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 broader 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 blends tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble, clay and resin, 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.
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.
