Oggetto curioso n°15
8 x 32 x 7 cm
Wood, acrylic, gesso
Giorgio Petracci, an Italian artist, uses recycled wood to create playful and balanced sculptures. For Petracci, "Renaissance" means transforming and renewing a connection with our history, as the richness of the past contributes to the beauty of the present. His "Architecture Curieuses" bring objects from the past back to life to nourish a contemporary aesthetic. His works, which often retain traces of their original paint, reflect his fascination with the interactions between color and material. Petracci's sculptures, part of his series "oggetti curiosi" (curious objects), encourage viewers to consider new perspectives and narratives. His pieces serve as talismans or lucky charms, creating a presence that accompanies both the artist and the observer.
