Salvatore Alibrio - Beyond the Surface

In this work by Salvatore Alibrio, the dialogue between materials creates a powerful illusionistic and conceptual effect. The frame and the external structure are skilfully molded in plaster to simulate the grainy, fragile texture of polystyrene. This white surface, with a worn and broken appearance, opens like a gash in the center. ​From the fissure emerge organized modular tiles in diplast, finely worked and painted in relief with metallic and glossy tones. The work thus plays on the visual deception of opaque matter and on the revelation of an hidden and precious humanity. Salvatore Alibrio, born in 1991, is an artist who has developed a significant sculptural research, participating in exhibitions and symposia, including those promoted by the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania. His practice explores the artistic language through an iconographic vocabulary that unites tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble and clay, revealing a deep connection with his cultural roots. His work addresses contemporary social issues, often reflecting on current tragedies. Alibrio reinterpretates the recognizable through a logic of fragmentation, stimulating critical reflections. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language, capable of expressing tension and strength. "In the dialogue between matter and meaning, sculpture becomes a fragment of truth, capable of telling the stories of our contemporaneity and the roots that unite us to the past." - S. Alibrio The work will be provided with an authenticity certificate and will be shipped inside a rigid enclosure.
