About The Artwork

This sculpture is the result of a series of accidents which I will now try to summarize: A very violent wind knocked down a centuries-old oak near my country house (my place where I spent the best days of my childhood and where I work in spring and summer). the fall of this tree caused other trees to fall and by a strange coincidence one of these trees was thrown into the air and stuck vertically into the ground. at the sight of this large splinter of wood stuck in the ground, the suggestion of the universal randomness of making a sculpture immediately appeared to me. Brought with some difficulty to my laboratory, I started working on it trying to highlight and exploit its veins without distorting its naturalness and mediating between the natural design of the wood and the natural design of the woman's body. The missing arts without any hesitation and with a certain poetic license were made with my usual technique "condensation dispersion of matter" in iron and steel. The sculpture was completed with a simple stainless steel base on a pivot. The sculpture is intended as an archaeological find from the future and has a double ARCHAIC and FUTURISTIC aesthetic value. Unique in its materiality, very powerful in its material contrast. very suggestive. You can see the video of the work on my instagram account / https://www.instagram.com/michelerizziartist/

Michael Rizzi is an Italian artist born in Turin in 1971 (he currently lives near Turin Italy) best known for sculptures "Condensation and dispersion of matter." Sculptures made with steel, wire and iron mesh, which enhance the feeling of discontinuity of matter (solids and voids). If the sculpture of the past was essentially remove excess material, this kind of sculpture is to score the material at the points established and well-measured quantity. Regarding the forms, are prevalent human figures, organic and vegetal figures (real, abstract or fantasy). who suffer from the most different influences ranging from the ancient Minoan art and African (athletic and Thin figures) to the sculptures of the last century by A. Giacometti to the latest figures pseudo alien or humanity of the future, up to the recent "Manga "Japanese. The incompleteness and deficiencies are the added value of these jobs from which flows the perpetual fascination of the ruins and archaeological remains. The artist likes to think of the sculptures as in archaeological findings received from the distant futureand therefore at the same time have a double aesthetic value: archaic and futuristic . The heroism and courage of facing life or just living is a recurring theme in these works as well as the simple contemplation, inordinate and disproportionate individual (humanity) in the presence of the universe, time and space. He recently started a cycle of sculptures with the main material being transparent resin and vegetables and materials present in nature. Painting by Michele Rizzi follows a seemingly distinct from the sculptures but for neighboring intent and in some cases coinciding with the work in three dimensions. His painting came to degrees from a figurative painting (fantastic landscapes future) to a more abstract representation, up to an abstraction that is influenced by the painting of Gerhard Richter (physical and mechanical work on the color pulled with wooden frames) from which it deviates by rarefaction and for the insertion of figures that give more or less distinct size, depth and meaning abstraction transforming it into abstract landscape. Both (sculpture and painting by Michele Rizzi) pursue the future in the knowledge that the future is essential from the past. A sort of hole in space-time (black hole) that enables the past and the future to come in contact generating overlapping and hybridization and an infinity of shades and consequent emotions. www.facebook.
