All books, if you think about it, are made of wood, but this is especially noticeable in the case of sculptural books of work Nino Orlandi (Nino orlandi). The Italian sculptor creates funny and memorable works, each of which is able to tell the viewer a little story.
Almost all of the sculptural works of the Italian are in one way or another related to the book theme. Books serve as a source of knowledge and inspiration for any educated person, as well as a person of art. Orlandi in his work develops the idea that the book and the people and creatures inhabiting it can literally come to life and talk to us.
Orlandi devoted himself to sculpture from a young age; by now it is already the fourteenth year of the period during which the Italian indulges in his favorite pastime. Gradually improving his technical skills, Orlandi is trying to achieve the goal to which many people of art strive - to cross the border of "probable" and "improbable", with the power of talent to revive a world in which hands can get out of books, and mysterious forest creatures doze between wood pages …
Books act as independent creatures or a key part of the "environment" in the works of many contemporary artists - regular readers of Kulturologia.ru may remember the photographer Joel Robinson and collector of "books-bricks" Daryl Fitzgerald … For Nino Orlandi, books exist as "keys" to the doors leading to magical worlds: it is not for nothing that some of his works bear names such as "The book of life" (The book of life), "Magic Mountain" (The magic mountain), "Book of Dreams" (The book of dreams). You can follow the novelties of the "book" (and not only) creativity of the Italian nugget on his Facebook.
