Title: Wariness
Year: 2026

Materials: 64 original Rubik’s Cubes, MDF panel, archival industrial adhesive

Edition: Unique work

Ready to hang. Professionally packed for shipping.
“Wariness” presents a tightly cropped face that fills the composition, bringing the viewer into an unusually close encounter with the figure.
The gaze seems directed outward, creating the impression that the viewer is being observed in return. Rather than appearing openly threatening, the expression carries a quieter sense of unease and caution: a subtle tension between physical proximity and emotional distance.
The lateral view reveals the adjacent faces of the cubes, extending the chromatic structure beyond the frontal image and emphasizing the sculptural depth of the work.
Giovanni Contardi (b. 1994) is an Italian artist internationally recognised for his mosaics created entirely from original Rubik’s Cubes. His installations are permanently exhibited at the Rossini National Museum in Italy and at Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel at Disneyland Paris.
His work was mentioned by Ernő Rubik, inventor of the Rubik’s Cube, in his autobiographical book Cubed: The Puzzle of Us All (2020).
Selected works, installations and process documentation are shared on Instagram under the name JVENB.
