Fabio VIale

Fabio Viale's sculpture experiments with the possibility of the material with a rigorous approach, he measures himself against tradition achieving disorienting and surprising results that demonstrate how the most extreme and improbable thought can be formalised. Marble, medium and idea at the same time, a heavy, severe material, as ancient as it is precious, becomes light, dynamic, ductile, as anonymous as an industrial by-product or a singular reproduction of great masterpieces. Exemplary are the works in which marble takes on the appearance of a balloon, a paper aeroplane, a polystyrene skull and even a perfectly functioning boat.

He won the 15th Premio Cairo, in 2014.
