A cross between sculpture and installation - art authored by an Italian sculptor Matteo pugliese … His works are people stuck in a wall who are desperately trying to get out into the wild, but they have a hard time succeeding. As a result, only individual parts of the bodies of these people are free, everything else is hidden from prying eyes in the thickness of the wall. Nude athletes made of bronze are a nod to classical sculpture from the times of Venus de Milo, Discobolus, The Thinker and Apollo. But the manner of performance and plots are modern. Balancing on this edge, the sculptor conquers the audience with the boldness of decisions and the skill of the execution of these decisions. And the viewer can only admire what he saw.
Willpower and fortitude, perseverance and disobedience, determination and optimism - these are all in the sculptures of Matteo Pugliese stuck in the wall. They are torn to freedom as if not only their fate depends on it, but also the share of all mankind. And maybe that's the way it is, we just haven't realized yet … More about the sculptor's works - on his website
