About The Artwork
STUNTS acrobats series The anthropomorphic appearance of the sculpture enhances the dynamism typical of sports activities. Gymnasts (Athletes) skilled in balance exercises, tightrope walkers in the air, this is how acrobats, circus actors or varieties specialized in strength and agility exercises that involve difficulties of various kinds and risks can be defined. The superimpositions of two-dimensional anthropomorphic figures simulate a sporting act through the mirror arrangement of the athletes, in perfect balance, symmetry, with the elements that compose it. I would like to clarify that the sculpture is made of laminated boards of seasoned wood, the visual "defects", such as cracks or anomalous veins, are natural elements typical of all wood essences, therefore, since wood is a "living" material, the imperfections are an integral part of the work as a whole. Title: STUNTS triple acrobat Technique: Sculpture made from laminated beech wood boards. Sculpture size: cm. 43 x 31 x 2.7 Base size: cm. 18.5 x 15 x 2.7 Year: 2017 Weight: kg 3 Serie STUNTS acrobati Le sembianze antropomorfe della scultura esaltano la dinamicità tipica dell’attività sportiva. I Ginnasti (Athleti) abili in esercizi d'equilibrio, i funamboli dell’aria, così si possono definire gli acrobati, attori di circo o di varietà specializzati in esercizi di forza e agilità che comportano difficoltà di vario genere e rischio. Le sovrapposizioni di figure antropomorfe bidimensionali simulano un atto sportivo attraverso la disposizione speculare degli athleti, in perfetto equilibrio, simmetria, con gli elementi che la compongono. Tengo a precisare che la scultura è realizzata da tavole lamellari di legno stagionato, i “difetti” visivi, quali spaccature o venature anomale, sono elementi naturali tipici di tutte le essenze lignee, per cui, essendo il legno un materiale “vivo”, le imperfezioni fanno parte integrante dell’opera nel suo insieme.

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.
