BLABLA Series Sculpture With blabla, (onomatopoeic expression, of international use, to indicate a speech or a vain, futile, constructless chatter) - conventional symbol of appearance, behavior and external perception, materialism, superficiality, hedonism, dissatisfaction, standardization, bad taste - interprets, attributes and manifests in a symbolic way, through conventional signs, the reflective thought of consumer society, the conception of technological society as an all-encompassing system that standardizes the behavior of individuals to market models, where goods and consumption are opportunities for realization and happiness for all. The "BLABLA" series of sculptures is part of a series of works characterized by homogeneity of themes and physical similarity in an orderly and continuous succession of elements of the same kind and by research on wooden materials (evaporated solid beech wood, natural fiber wood extremely stable compact). The modular structure characterized by sharp corner cuts makes the sculptures acquire infinite constructive variables. The only constant is the repetition in a logical and rational order of the same stereotyped concept: BLABLA-Lexical decomposition of the futile and the banal. Title: BLABLA Sculpture 03 Sculpture size: cm. 53 x 47.5 x 4 Base dimension: cm. 45x 15 x 4.3 Total size: cm. 55 x 47.5 x 15 Year: 2020 Weight: 5.2 kg Serie BLABLA Scultura Con blabla, (espressione onomatopeica, di uso internazionale, per indicare un discorso o un chiacchiericcio vano, futile, senza costrutto) - simbolo convenzionale dell’apparenza, del comportamento e della percezione esteriore, del materialismo, superficialità, edonismo, insoddisfazione, massificazione, cattivo gusto - interpreta, attribuire e manifesta in modo simbolico, attraverso segni convenzionali il pensiero riflesso della società consumistica, la concezione della società tecnologica come sistema totalizzante che massifica i comportamenti degli individui ai modelli di mercato, dove le merci e i consumi sono opportunità di realizzazione e felicità per tutti. La serie di sculture “BLABLA” fa parte di una serie di opere caratterizzate da omogeneità di temi e somiglianza fisica in un succedersi ordinato e continuo di elementi dello stesso genere e da una ricerca su materiali lignei (faggio massello listellare evaporato, legno naturale a fibra compatta estremamente stabile). La struttura modulare caratterizzata da tagli netti ad angolo vivo fa acqusire alla sculture infinite variabili costruttive. L’unica costante è il ripetere in ordine logico e razionale dello stesso concetto steretipato: BLABLA-Decomposizione lessicale del futile e del banale.

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.
