About The Artwork

Andromeda (Star woman) is part of the condensation / dispersion of matter with Star woman theme and this series is currently the largest and in my opinion the most complex and at the same time successful in finishes and details. This sculpture consists of about 2500 pieces of stainless steel and about 5000 weldings and many hours of honing. Woman of the stars is back from the future.Her lines are a mixture of the alien and archaic. Between distant galaxies, black africa and culture of Minoan representations. She lost the matter but at the same time she keeps the charm of archaeological ruins and future items. The tall thin and powerful female figure contemplates the firmament with intensity.   This sculpture being made of stainless steel and further protected with a transparent spray paint can also be positioned outdoors, taking care to adequately secure the base. I would like to clarify that in the photographs you can not completely transmit the power that this sculpture emanates with its size and its finishes. Personally I think this sculpture is the highest point, to date, that I have reached for this type of sculpture. Very beautiful in its sinuosity and finishes, the hands are particularly successful and the base is itself a sculpture.

Michael Rizzi is an Italian artist born in Turin in 1971 (he currently lives near Turin Italy) best known for sculptures "Condensation and dispersion of matter." Sculptures made with steel, wire and iron mesh, which enhance the feeling of discontinuity of matter (solids and voids). If the sculpture of the past was essentially remove excess material, this kind of sculpture is to score the material at the points established and well-measured quantity. Regarding the forms, are prevalent human figures, organic and vegetal figures (real, abstract or fantasy). who suffer from the most different influences ranging from the ancient Minoan art and African (athletic and Thin figures) to the sculptures of the last century by A. Giacometti to the latest figures pseudo alien or humanity of the future, up to the recent "Manga "Japanese. The incompleteness and deficiencies are the added value of these jobs from which flows the perpetual fascination of the ruins and archaeological remains. The artist likes to think of the sculptures as in archaeological findings received from the distant futureand therefore at the same time have a double aesthetic value: archaic and futuristic . The heroism and courage of facing life or just living is a recurring theme in these works as well as the simple contemplation, inordinate and disproportionate individual (humanity) in the presence of the universe, time and space. He recently started a cycle of sculptures with the main material being transparent resin and vegetables and materials present in nature. Painting by Michele Rizzi follows a seemingly distinct from the sculptures but for neighboring intent and in some cases coinciding with the work in three dimensions. His painting came to degrees from a figurative painting (fantastic landscapes future) to a more abstract representation, up to an abstraction that is influenced by the painting of Gerhard Richter (physical and mechanical work on the color pulled with wooden frames) from which it deviates by rarefaction and for the insertion of figures that give more or less distinct size, depth and meaning abstraction transforming it into abstract landscape. Both (sculpture and painting by Michele Rizzi) pursue the future in the knowledge that the future is essential from the past. A sort of hole in space-time (black hole) that enables the past and the future to come in contact generating overlapping and hybridization and an infinity of shades and consequent emotions. www.facebook.
