The Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro features an exquisite exhibition which collects the work of more than 80 Italian artists who broke into the contemporary art scene thanks to their sculptures.
Here is the presentation of three artists who form part of the interesting exhibition at the Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro, which opened on October 20th and will be open until January 30th, 2011.
Maurizio Cattelan is undoubtedly one of the most famous artists of Italy, who was born in Padua in 1960. He launched his first creative ventures in the field of designing, building furniture for apartments. And hence was born his fiery passion for art, culminating in his first exhibition in Bologna in the late 80´s. His work combines sculpture with performance, creating an interesting paradox that reflects his elegant sense of humor and momentum.
Vanessa Beecroft transgresses the boundaries between art and design, sexist and feminist, intelligent and coarse. Naked women in heels populate her imaginary world, which have already been exposed in several renowned museums. Her peculiar living sculptures use the figure of the immovable clone, to provoke questions about the nature of sexual attraction.
Alice Cattaneo, born in Milan, makes sculptures and animated videos created using materials found in everyday life. The work of this artist is very funny and, in turn, ethereal, opportunistic and precarious. Sometimes her sculptures seem to be the result of a magical accident, sometimes it shows the dedication and the pragmatic approach that has made the art Cattaneo famous.
