Description
This minimalist art installation features a monochromatic palette of white and gray. The composition centers on a long, cylindrical white sculpture that lies on the concrete floor, contrasting with the stark white walls. The simplicity of the shapes and materials creates a sense of serenity and contemplation. The artist likely aimed to explore themes of space, form, and the interplay between light and shadow within the gallery setting. This pared-down approach reflects the influence of 20th-century Minimalist art movements, where the artwork's visual impact relies on the careful arrangement of basic geometric elements. ...
Gianni Caravaggio born in 1968 in rocca s. giovanni (chieti), Italy, raised in Sindelfingen, Germany. He currently lives and works in Milan and Stuttgart. He is currently a professor of sculpture at the academy of Fine Arts in Milan. A student under Luciano Fabro, Caravaggio shares with him a decision to renew the sculptural idiom by combining traditional materials such as marble with other, more unconventional ones, including talc, paper, and lentils.
