AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rubik Faces Series
In the year 2025

The artist has created a Series of Unique Works. Each sculpture is a one-of-a-kind piece as it is handcrafted individually, ensuring its non-replicability. The variations in colors and faces among the cubes make them conceptually distinct, framing the work within the contemporary practice of 'variations on the theme.'

The sculpture is a work of art that reinterprets the classic Rubik's Cube in an innovative and surprising way. Instead of the traditional flat faces, the cube is made up of a series of carved portraits of human faces, each painted with vibrant and distinctive colors such as blue, red, green, white, and orange. This color choice not only echoes the aesthetic of the Rubik's Cube but also gives it a dynamic and lively appearance.
Each side of the cube features a unique combination of faces, creating a fascinating play of expressions and emotions that invites the viewer to explore and contemplate. The three-dimensional shapes and the texture of the faces add depth and realism, making the piece not just a decorative object but a true visual stimulus.
The cube is mounted on a black metal base, which serves to emphasize the color and shape of the piece, allowing a 360-degree view without distractions. This contrast between black and vibrant colors creates an eye-catching visual effect, making the artwork an excellent focal point in any environment. Art merges with nostalgia for play, offering a unique aesthetic experience.

Salvatore Alibrio, born in 1991, is an artist who has developed a 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 combines tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble, and clay, revealing a deep connection to 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 artwork will be provided with a certificate of authenticity and will be shipped in rigid packaging.
