Description

The nature is the classic one of the ancient herbariums: those reproduced by Mattioli in the 16th century are admirable, printed in woodcuts on wooden matrices engraved in relief. The artifice is the extraordinary one of the three-dimensional lithic reproduction modeled with the use of the most sophisticated technologies applied to numerical control machines. Raffaello Galiotto experiments, in his latest work set up for the 2023 edition of Marmomac, the unique re-proposition of those forms that appear more natural than nature itself has given them to us. Working with stone (Carlo Scarpa said) means subtracting something from nature and, sooner or later, that subtraction will have to be compensated. That restitution is entrusted to the hand of the artist, above all when he is able to re-propose it beyond the wonders of the forms of creation. Art, in its most successful expressions, has this extraordinary ability to add value to nature; it is that skilful relief of a mental image that manifests itself in the finished work and expresses something that was not there before and that the artist translates. This is Raffaello Galiotto's purpose to accompany us, through a fantastic vision of the forms of nature, in an augmented reality in which the artifice of the present becomes the encounter place between history and its possible future evolutions.
