The fourth of the 5 sculptures is entitled “Harlequin”. Already in the past the Italian sculptor has given ample space in his artistic production to the character of Harlequin, a comic and dramatic character at the same time.

Cesare Catania is fascinated by the coexistence of sadness and comedy in the theatrical character of Harlequin, so much so that over the years he dedicated several paintings to him (“Harlequin in the Land of the Giants”, “Harlequins C Version”, “Gli Harlequins” Feelings and Emotions, etc. …). This is actually the first sculpture that the author dedicates to the harlequin character and he creates it by expertly mixing silicone, acrylic and mineral pigments with Murano mirrors and rusty steel.

The natural black rope, as in the previous sculpture entitled “Time”, characterizes a sort of temporal immobility in which Harlequin and the city of Venice are captured: a character and a city that have been the same for millennia and are so current despite their age.
