Salvatore Alibrio (XX) - Starry Sky

A bas-relief composed of small, delicate faces. It is a one-of-a-kind work because each tile was painted and assembled by hand. The materials used are diplast plaster and acrylic paints. The entire piece is enclosed within a wooden frame. The artwork consists of a grid-like arrangement of small, colored tiles, each featuring a subtle, abstract facial impression. 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 of individuality and collectivity through the lens of abstract portraiture. The use of colour is particularly striking, emphasising both contrast and cohesion. The piece could be seen as a commentary on how faces, while unique, are part of a larger mosaic of human experience. It invites viewers to reflect on the diversity of expression and emotion within a seemingly uniform pattern. 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 in 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 profound connection to his cultural roots. His work addresses contemporary social issues, often reflecting on current tragedies. Alibrio reinterprets the recognisable through a logic of fragmentation, stimulating critical reflection. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to the development of an autonomous artistic language capable of expressing tension and strength. "In the dialogue between matter and meaning, sculpture becomes a fragment of truth, capable of telling the stories of our contemporary world and the roots that unite us to the past." - S. Alibrio The work will be provided with a certificate of authenticity and shipped in rigid packaging.
