About this artwork
With Crucifixion, I sought to free the sacred theme from all rhetoric, restoring it to its most physical and human dimension. The figure emerges as a burned body, almost consumed by the material itself, suspended on a metal surface marked by drips, burns, and incandescent reds. I was interested in the image appearing to emerge from an event that had already occurred, like a presence that had survived fire, pain, and time.
In this work, the crucifixion… is not merely a religious subject, but a universal condition of exposure, sacrifice, and resistance. The material retains what remains: wound, memory, transformation. The contrast between the luminous background and the blackened figure generates a tension that makes the surface unstable, alive, permeated by a harsh and contemporary spirituality.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Giampiero Riccobello, born in Rome, works between Rome and Milan, using painting, sculpture, and unconventional materials, drawing on a background in art history. His style oscillates between informal abstraction and conceptual exploration, favoring processes of layering, subtraction, and material interventions on neutral surfaces, with earthy colors and unexpected accents. His works evoke an indirect human presence and transform common materials into symbols, conveying a sense of suspension, intimacy, and a reflection on memory and the passage of time.
