The animals of Michele Liparesi a young sculptor and eclectic artist, are made exclusively by hand, using wire mesh joined piece by piece with a hook with a curved beak without any electro-welding. The figures are part of the BESTIARY sculptural cycle and are life size. The metal mesh installations placed on the wall or suspended from the ceiling create projections of shadows on the wall giving a wonderful effect of movement

Michele Liparesi (Bologna, 1986) lives and works in Bologna, Italy.

His interest in sculpture began while studying at the art school and subsequently led him to graduate from the Academy

of Fine Arts in Bologna and Florence. Then a Masters in Granada

The Bestiary series arises from the need to find a material (and therefore a language) that can represent our age, our daily life. The nucleus of this work consists of the figure of an animal that enters into a relationship with the surrounding environment, becoming an integral part of the place that hosts it. Numerous his life-size installations in the most important National Parks of Europe such as the gigantic reindeer in the most famous National Park in Finland.
