About The Artwork
The theme is Ocean Acidification another environmental and social problem which i like to talk about. Is a personal experience that makes me studying about Ocean acidification. I was living in a beautiful island in Indonesia and i saw that in few years the coral reef was almost disappear... My goal is to use my art to foster awareness of ecological and social problem. I create a collection of different wall sculptures dedicates to this theme. The acid water in our Oceans inspired me to dissolving sea shells using muriatic acid and photo-shooting them during the process to create a time-laps video, then, using a frame from the video i create an exact replica of the shell using plaster mixed with cement and other materials. For the other surface i used tempera, pigments, gold powder, silver powder, exhausted oil, gesso, cement and other material mixed together, then i dry it under the sun and covered with ice many times until the material mixed as i like. In the end i use a glass resine to recreate the water effect of the surface. When you look at it, seems like to see a skull, that is what came from the dissolving experiment i made, and then looks like to see the deep ocean around a reef with infinite colours.

Alessio Ceruti was born in Varese, Italy, in 1980. He is a self-taught and full-time artist whose artistic training began in his father's business in 1994, where he worked on the finishing of sculptures for many famous artists such as Michelangelo Pistoletto, Not Vital, and Remo Salvadori. These artistic influences increased his desire to communicate using his own language, focusing on the study and use of metals, recycled materials, and painting.

His art has been featured in numerous group and solo exhibitions spanning Europe, Southeast Asia, and the USA.
