About this artwork
COPPER STONE
Stone, copper leaf, vitrifying paint.
--
The artist's sculptural exploration moves along a dual path, bound by a single, visceral need: to use material to seek a way out, an escape from geographical confines and preconceived definitions. The artist uses stone, the most deeply rooted and weighty medium in his territory, as a means of escape. The act of sculpture is not a celebration of origin, but a search for a way out. The primordial… material is explored as a living body, custodian of a memory that the artist activates to transform it into an international language. Through the sculptural intervention, the stone loses its archaic immobility to become a narrative of fragility and connections. In parallel, the research expands towards the reappropriation and recovery of pre-existing objects. Here, the action operates by removing their functional meaning: the object is isolated, reinterpreted, and imbued with new conceptual tensions.

« I'm lured by the essence of things, by an incessant tension towards the Truth, the Absolute, the Spiritual in art. »
Vito Difilippo (b. 1988, Monopoli, Italy) has exhibited in various cities across Italy, France, the United Kingdom, and China. His research began in Puglia, between the Murgia plateau and the sea, original territories that continue to nourish a constantly evolving visual language, encompassing self-taught painting, abstract expressionism, conceptual art, Arte Povera, sculpture, and photography. His work treads a subtle line between the natural and the artificial, the archaic and the contemporary, inviting us to rediscover a possible harmony between fragility and strength. What emerges is an abstract, intimate, and visceral narrative, in which matter and gesture converge to shape new expressive possibilities.
