UNIQUE EXAMPLE
This metallic work strikes for its balance between geometric rigor and organic textures. The composition is composed of cast aluminum tiles, organized according to a grid that recalls a modern mosaic. The alternation of silver and gold surfaces, of depth between the various tiles, adds dynamism and visual contrast, emphasizing the materiality of the work.
The use of cast aluminum gives the surfaces an almost liquid effect, with veins and ripples that evoke a sense of movement.
The contrast between the different finishes, some smoother, others richer in details, creates a dialogue between order and chaos, structure and spontaneity. The dark border that frames the work helps define the space, giving it a three-dimensional and sculptural appearance.
The alternation between silver and gold tiles introduces an interesting visual rhythm, which guides the eye through the composition. The material details recall natural elements, such as rocks eroded by time or lunar surfaces, suggesting a connection between art and nature.
LUSSURIA fits into the trend of contemporary sculpture with a strong material accent. The combination of geometry and texture makes the work fascinating and evocative, capable of capturing attention and stimulating reflection on the relationship between order and randomness in artistic creation.
