Oriano Galloni Exhibition
Silent Soul
Koru Contemporary Art is excited to announce internationally acclaimed artist Oriano Galloni's Hong Kong debut. Coinciding with the Italian Chamber of Commerce Italian Month the exhibition will feature a range of Galloni's most recent sculptures and paintings.
Born in Italy, and now currently practicing in New York Galloni combines the traditional marble carving techniques of his birthplace with contemporary sculpting materials and abstract forms, creating work that references Italy's rich art history whilst also remaining fresh and innovative.
Continuing his exploration of the soul, Galloni incorporates his signature renaissanceesque iconography into new, more experimental situations. His pieces Shadows of the Moon, (2010) and The Metamorphosis, (2010) depict his figures encased in aluminum and marble, his audiences are left to question whether the forms are trapped or simply waiting to emerge. The pieces also recall words by Italian sculptor Michelangelo Buonarroti's "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free". No longer trapped within marble but still not yet free, these works are in a perpetual state of transition and flux.
