Salvatore Alibrio - Fuori dal coro

Salvatore Alibrio - Fuori dal coro

Bas-relief made up of small, precious face-prints. It is a unique work of its kind because every tile has been painted and inserted by hand on a wooden support. The materials used are plaster (gypsum) and acrylic paints, all of superb quality, ideal for furnishing contemporary environments. The artwork consists of a grid arrangement of small colored tesserae, each characterized by a thin, abstract facial imprint. The repetition of the 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 between individuality and collectivity through the lens of abstract portraiture. The use of color is particularly striking, highlighting both contrast and cohesion. The piece could be read as a commentary on how faces, though unique, are part of a larger mosaic of human experience. It invites viewers to reflect on the diversity of expression and emotion within an apparently uniform scheme. Salvatore Alibrio, born 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 blends tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble, clay, and resin, 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 reflections. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language capable of expressing tension and force. The work will be provided with a certificate of authenticity and will be shipped inside a rigid packaging.
