Alessandro Padovan (1983) - 3D BERNARD AUBERTIN NEW! (con teca plexiglass)

The work arises from an ideal dialogue with the research of Bernard Aubertin, an artist of Nouveau Réalisme who made red, repetition and matter central elements of his poetics. In his works, the seriality of simple, everyday elements becomes a language capable of evoking tension, energy, destruction and transformation.

In this work, however, the tradition is reinterpreted through an element characteristic of my research: the screw.

Instead of the nails used by Aubertin, I use hundreds of screws, arranged according to a precise geometric structure on the red surface. The screw, an element normally associated with assembly, construction and mechanics, is here transformed into an autonomous artistic element. Its repetition creates a three-dimensional surface in which light, shadow and depth continuously modify the perception of the work.

The red envelops the composition like a surface charged with energy, while the screws emerge from the plane, creating a kind of visual vibration. From a frontal view the composition appears ordered and minimal; viewing it from the side, its true three-dimensional and tactile nature emerges.

The work does not seek to be a simple quotation of Aubertin, but a contemporary reinterpretation of his language, replacing the nail with the screw and turning an industrial object into an artistic sign.

The screw thus becomes a symbol of construction and destruction at the same time: what normally serves to join and fasten is used to create a restless, intense and deeply material surface.

It is precisely in this contrast between order and tension, construction and destruction, two-dimensionality and three-dimensionality that the identity of the work is born.

Artwork by the artist Alessandro Padovan, famous worldwide for his Screw Art technique.
The work is enriched by a plexiglass case.

The transparent case isolates and protects, transforming the work into a contemporary relic.

The works of this contemporary artist sit in the path of Pop Art, Screw Art, conceptual art and urban art, evoking in visual language and cultural impact the work of great names such as Andy Warhol, Jean‑Michel Basquiat, Banksy, Jeff Koons, Keith Haring, Fontana, Imbue, obey, Padovan, Schifano, Nicole Lubbers, Bani, kev munday invader, murakami and Damien Hirst.
At the same time, the artistic research dialogues with the imagination of luxury, iconic fashion and global design, evoking symbolic brands and universally recognized marks such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Hermès, Rolex, Ferrari Porsche Lamborghini.
The works are not replicas nor official collaborations with the artists or brands cited, but original creations, made with a personal style that reflects a critique and a rereading of consumerism, the symbolic value of the brand and art as a contemporary cultural object.
This approach makes the works particularly appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts of contemporary art, luxury Pop Art, conceptual street art and art inspired by iconic brands, while maintaining a strong autonomous artistic identity.
