Alessandro Padovan - (NO RESERVE) FRACTURED IDENTITY

Fractured Identity

After more than fifteen years of artistic research, Alessandro Padovan, internationally known as the Screw Art Artist, inaugurates a new phase of his creative journey. His works are present in private collections and offered through galleries in several countries, where his artistic language has stood out for originality and continual experimentation.

After making the screw the symbol of his artistic identity, Padovan now introduces a new technique based on the controlled fracturing of synthetic glass. The surface is worked until it generates a network of unreproducible cracks which, instead of representing rupture, become the medium through which the image is born.

In this work the portrait of a Greek sculpture takes shape, a universal symbol of beauty, harmony, and perfection. The contrast between the subject’s classicality and the expressive force of the fractures creates a dialogue between past and contemporaneity: the perfection of sculpture is reinterpreted through a fragile material, turning every crack into a sign of light and rebirth.

As in Screw Art, in this new series the material itself becomes the absolute protagonist. The artist does not paint the face, but lets it emerge from a process of transformation, where each fracture is unreproducible and contributes to building the work.

This new inquiry represents the natural evolution of Alessandro Padovan’s language: a path that continues to push beyond the boundaries of traditional techniques, transforming industrial materials into contemporary works of art with a strong aesthetic and emotional impact.

The work is UNIQUE, it comes framed and bears a signature and an authenticity certificate.
