Alessandro Padovan - LIBERTY

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 path. His works are in private collections and offered through galleries in several countries, where his artistic language has stood out for originality and continuous experimentation.

After having made the screw the symbol of his artistic identity, Padovan today introduces a new technique based on the controlled fracturing of synthetic glass. The surface is worked to generate a network of irreproducible cracks which, instead of representing breaking, become the medium with which the image is born.

In this work the portrait of the Statue of Liberty takes shape, 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 the sculpture is reinterpreted through a fragile material, transforming every crack into a sign of light and rebirth.

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

This new research 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 art works with a strong aesthetic and emotional impact.

The work is UNIQUE, it comes framed, signed and with a certificate of authenticity.
