2015 / Carrara marble/ 110 x 87 x 90 cm
The artwork is realized during the “Forum di Scultura Contemporanea” in Carrara. It’s the last piece from the series Superchio; in this case I use a metric cubic of marble directly arrived from the caves.
“Non ha l’ottimo artista alcun concetto
c’un marmo solo in sé non circonscriva
col suo superchio, e solo a quello arriva
la man che ubbidisce all’intelletto. “
“ The master-craftsman hath no thought in mind
That one sole marble block may not contain
Within itself, but this we only find
When the hand serves the impulse of the brain”
Michelangelo Buonarroti
