Buddha

Descrizione

In his long research as an artist and architect Giuseppe Guanci worked around an idea considered unrepresentable in the West: the void. A labyrinthine void wrapped in copper wire sculptures - sometimes in brass, silver or willow, others in wire mesh - which translate the dense, dense texture of the design into three-dimensional shapes.
In these works, a patient and very attentive gestural rituality is immediately visible, which poetically modulates the very thin copper wire in figures that present themselves now as human figures, now as animals or fruit. An uninterrupted dialogue between inside and outside that makes these unprecedented works open, transparent and legible in infinite ways and that offer themselves in constant mutation, for example, by virtue of the type of light that passes through them and the observer's point of view. .
