This exhibition aims to raise awareness of the work of Roberto Fanari

Roberto Fanari's sculpture is an oxymoronic reflection on the completeness of the unfinished. His works are born from an illumination during his studies at the academy when the skeletal structures, which act as the soul of the sculptures, appear to his eyes as completed works. His research thus focuses on the potential of line: he traces the essential shape of the figures with cooked iron, resulting in sculptures composed of alternating perfectly detailed areas and empty volumes. Even in the works on paper the volumes are constructed by a dense network of decisive and marked strokes, but the lines are less simplified, softer and more vibrant than in the sculptural works. In a surreal atmosphere poised between reality and imagination, children, hunting trophies and Victorian furnishings arouse contrasting sensations bordering on the familiar and the disturbing.
