AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The work "Unboxing" made in terracotta and hand-painted with acrylic colors is a fascinating and evocative sculpture, characterized by an intense blue face that emerges from a ripped cardboard box. The face, rendered realistically, expresses a strong emotional charge, inviting the viewer to reflect on their emotions. The blue tone of the face creates a remarkable contrast with the beige background, composed of a mix of textures and shapes. The surface is irregular, almost as if the face is trying to break through a barrier, evoking themes of freedom and struggle. This sculpture symbolizes the search for authenticity and the vulnerability of the individual in the face of external pressures. The breaking element and the play of colors make the work visually captivating and deeply evocative.
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 artistic language through an iconic 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 reflection. His mastery of the materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language, capable of expressing tension and strength.
The work will be provided with a certificate of authenticity.
