Oxidation is a unique mixed-media grid artwork, 24 cm wide by 30 cm high with a 3.5 cm depth, created in 2026, hand-signed, in excellent condition, edition Pezzo unico, originating from Italy, and supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
Description from the seller
The artwork consists of a grid arrangement of small colored tesserae, each characterized by a slender, abstract facial imprint. The repetition of the facial 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 the collective 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, form 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 symposiums, 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 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.
The work will come with a certificate of authenticity and will be shipped in a rigid enclosure.
