ABOUT THE ARTWORK

NUMBERS Series Cu (Copper) The Number Rame series originates from a rational criterion of systematicity and scientific rigor, the abstract symbols that represent sets of units, assume congruence and functionality. The symbolism of the graphic signs of rigor and logic, as a logical and mathematical model, materialize through a succession of infinite numerical and chromatic variations. The peculiarity of this series is characterized by the use of copper plates whose surface has been perforated and engraved. The oxidation and the displacement of the cut parts create a variegated effect of lights and shadows that determine multiple metallic nuances typical of copper. This technical procedure gives the works a syncopated rhythm in contrast with the rigid numerical sequence and its rational functionality. Data sheet: Title: NUMBER Cu Technique: Perforated and engraved copper plates on white MDF panel, natural slab oxidation Panel size: cm. 48x40x2.5 Frame size: cm. 61x53x5 Year: 2019 Weight kg 3.5 Serie NUMBERS Cu La serie Number Rame ha origine da un criterio razionale di sistematicità e di rigore scientifico, i simboli astratti che rappresentano insiemi di unità, assumono congruenza e funzionalità. La simbologia dei segni grafici del rigore e della logica, come modello logico e matematico, si materializzano attraverso un susseguirsi di infinite variazioni numeriche e cromatiche. La peculiarità di tale serie è caratterizzata dall’utilizzo di lastre di rame la cui superfice è stata traforata ed incisa. L’ossidazione e lo spostamento delle parti tagliate creano un effetto variegato di luci ed ombre che determinano molteplici sfumature metalliche tipiche del rame. Questa procedura tecnica fa acquisire alle opere un ritmo sincopato in contrasto con la rigida sequenza numerica e la sua funzionalità razionale.

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.
