About The Artwork

ALPHABET LAME series The series of bas-reliefs "Alphabet Lame" is part of a series of works characterized by homogeneity of themes and physical resemblance in an orderly and continuous succession of elements of the same genre and by a research on typographic characters, graphic signs in relief of various types, type, used as matrices. After the reproduction phase of the single letters of the alphabet in relief, obtained through silicon rubber molds, and the application of a patina of color that uniformly covers the surface, the bas-relief takes on concreteness materializing, through the assembly phase, in a multitude of color variations with variable thicknesses. The title of the "Alphabet Lame" series derives from the conceptual setting of the work, the set of a person's intellectual achievements obtained through study and experience - culture / conscience / knowledge - is opposed to the total unaware inconsistency - illiteracy / ignorance / incultura - of the rampant computerization of the T9 system with alphanumeric strings. This concept is represented in the composition through the lack of a letter in the alphabetical sequence, which one?

Dopo la fase di riproduzione delle singole lettere dell’alfabeto in rilievo, ottenuti mediante stampi in gomma siliconica, e l’applicazione di una patina di colore che ricopre uniformemente la superficie, il bassorilievo assume concretezza materializzandosi, attraverso la fase di assemblaggio, in una moltitudine di varianti cromatiche a spessori variabili. Il titolo della serie "Alphabet Lame” deriva dall’impostazione concettuale dell’opera, l’insieme delle acquisizioni intellettuali di una persona ottenute mediante lo studio e l'esperienza - cultura/coscienza/conoscenza - si contrappone alla totale inconsapevole icongruenza - analfabetismo/ignoranza/incultura - della dilagante informatizzazione del sistema T9 a stringhe alfanumeriche.

He began his training as an advertising graphic taking care of the image of the musical and cultural events of various associations of his city Nuoro. At the same time he began his artistic career experimenting pictorial techniques on alphanumeric typographic language. What interests him are some of the printing methods and in particular the typographic technique of the "relief form composed of movable type" (type), from which it draws inspiration; inspiration that begins to manifest itself in the works presented at the first national exhibition in which it participates, "Artefiera" of 1992 in Florence. His work is also appreciated by critics who recognize the award as the best young person under 25. The remarkable confirmation and the conceptual impact of pictorial representations of the symbols commonly called Type, had, and has, a primary importance in the symbolic research of the creative path elaborated by the artist in the following years. The method "Gutemberg - universal and primordial symbol of mass communication not only in the dissemination of culture, but also in the social and civil formation of peoples and in the progress of communication itself - is contextualized and used in pictorial representation, as a universal idiom of visual communication : the Type graphic sign evokes the immediate visual link between the object in its materiality (graphic sign engraved on a wooden parallelepiped) and its pictorial representation, which becomes the basis of global visual communication. In the work TypeCity, engobed red-clay bas-relief, created in 2003 and presented at the most important ceramics competition in Sardinia, the letters and numbers give a peculiar physiognomy to the work that takes on its characteristic alphanumeric code through the use of multiple characters types of different sizes and shapes which alternate and follow one another, in an absolutely random order, but in perfect compositional balance. Recent example of the use of Type is given by the pictorial series "Letters" started in 2008 with progressive numbering 01-236 and still in progress today. The fundamental step that broadens the cultural and artistic path of Francesco Alpigiano takes place in 1999 with the winning of the sculpture competition organized by the Costantino Nivola Foundation.
