The Minotaur is a coated resin artwork, the sculpture maybe rappresents one amongst the most known fanta- stic creatures of the ancient world. The mythological subject is the primary material for the author’s artistic production that sees their own cultural roots and maybe the roots of the entire southern european culture in the myth. The starting point is almost always linked to the great Greek tradition that exposes the author’s in- trospective exploration; it’s long condensation of thoughts is very common with the anthropological and eth- nological exploration. The work wants to rappresent a state of human bestialty in which the subject reconizes within himself and at the same time exposes it without any filters. The wide gesture is a sort of body expres- sion that tells the viewers what follows: “this is how i am and what i rappresent”; a conscious moment that enhances the beast itself yet doesn’t eliminate the miserable and unworthiness condition in which he faces the tragedy of existence and daily resisting oneself. For the author: the work itself is one of many faces, of many symbols that might emerge during their self artsitc exploration and for this reason many themes such as the metamorpfosis are created trying to give as many symbols of the same reflection as possible which however never places itself as final and asbolute.

Mainoni is a sculptor who perseveres in study, research and experimentation; a linguistic research that originates from the mythological figures of antiquity, strongly linked to drawing and to a decisive and frank plasticity with an almost severe line style. His figures and themes unfold around a poetic research of an anthropological nature, linked to the psychology and impulses of the human soul, characters that we see emerge and vibrate on the surface of the works, trapped in dreamlike atmospheres that do not follow the laws of reality.

The Minotaur is an artwork that belongs to another author’s series called “ the metamorphosis”:they take in- spiration from the mythological story and sometimes they give their own interpretaion; for the sake of the artwork they could also gradually change a starting point from within the mythology. This sculpture is the first of the series out of a total of 12 works; Just like the seires “Traces”
this isn’t a series production of the same work
it’s rather a production of a linguistic and thematic investigation
that depending on the chosen subject
it leads to the creation of different sculptures from one another yet with the same poetic background
