\u201c…and when I observe that infinite picture I see absolute colours: below an uncertain and wavy blue, in the middle a dark and statuesque green, above an intense blue streaked with white. In the distance an island, where in the morning emotions are born and calcify on incandescent crystals. It’s a moment that separates day from night… Time here passes imperturbably and eternally asynchronous. The passing of life, which perhaps in this place more than in others, will always be the same. We, imperceptible stardust, harmoniously floating in a calm and eternal ether.”<\/em><\/p>

The sculpture is part of the collection entitled “The Other Side of the Moon” and created in July 2023 during his artist residency in Venice.<\/p>

The artist residency gives the sculptor the opportunity to be influenced by the city that hosts him. This new collection by Cesare Catania is the continuation of his poetics which for the occasion is mixed with the artistic influences of the island of Murano.<\/p>

In fact, Catania works in Murano for the first time with the typical glass of the island itself (what he himself calls “incandescent crystals”) and harmonizes it with a material dear to him such as rusty steel, giving life to a sculpture that denotes a strong contamination with the surrounding artistic fabric while remaining adherent to his own geometric and eclectic sculptural art.<\/p>

To give even greater character to the feelings felt by the Artist during the artistic creation phase, a text conceived and engraved by the Author himself on segments of pear wood, a text developed while observing the island of Murano from the living room window (the one which he himself calls the “infinite picture”) of his artist residency at Don\u00e0 dalle Rose Palace.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
