Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary sculpture features a large, wooden hand gripping a sharp, metallic blade. The predominant colors are the natural tones of the wooden hand and the gray steel of the knife. The composition emphasizes the contrast between the organic and the industrial, the soft and the sharp. The artwork evokes a sense of power and potential violence, prompting viewers to consider the complex relationship between human agency and the use of tools or weapons. The artist likely intended to explore themes of control, aggression, and the duality of human nature through this striking visual metaphor. ...

Artist
Federico Cantini
B.1991, Argentinian

Federico Cantini graduated from the National University of Rosario with a degree in Fine Arts. His work challenges the conventional boundaries between sculpture and installation, generating intimate and sometimes unsettling scenes. He is distinguished by his ability to create pieces that go beyond mere materiality, exploring the intersection between the rigidity of physics and human sensitivity. His creations are not simply static objects, but rather traces of a mood, pres- ences that interact with the viewer and expand the experience into a shared space. Cantini finds inspiration in everyday elements, which he transforms through personal reinterpretation. His works, infused with an unsettling familiarity and palpable emotional tension, invite the viewer to explore the beauty and complexity hidden in the seemingly ordinary. The artist presents everyday scenes that, when illuminated, reveal a raw reality devoid of adornments, without passing judgment. Here, the human is shown in its vulnerability and authenticity. Federico is a visual storyteller whose work is located in an ambiguous territory where violence and creation converge unexpectedly. ...
