AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

"Screen's Venus" is a work that revisits the classic canon of beauty in a bold and contemporary way. The artist challenges our expectations by presenting a fragmentary Venus de Milo, symbol of perfection and ancient grace, and overlays it with an estranged and anachronistic element: a colorful mask.
This mask, apparently digital or stemming from a futuristic aesthetic, covers the face of the goddess, denying us her expression and her identity. The glossy, monolithic surface of the mask contrasts sharply with the rough texture and imperfections of the sculpture, underscoring the collision between the past and the present.
The piece raises deep questions about the perception of beauty and identity in the modern era. The mask may represent alienation, the loss of authenticity, or the pressure to conform to imposed ideals. It is a sharp analysis of how digital culture and globalization are reshaping not only our way of seeing the world, but also ourselves. "Screen's Venus" pushes us to ask: what remains of our humanity when history and tradition are obscured by a superficial aesthetic?

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 iconographic 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 materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language, capable of expressing tension and strength.

The work will be shipped with a certificate of authenticity.
