Catalogue Note
“L’opera d’arte, quando è vera, ti allontana dal mondo, ti cinge di questa barriera di silenzio, e tu la vedi come attraverso un vetro, quando è vera arte, che sia musica che sia poesia, scultura, ti trovi sempre davanti a questo vetro che ti dice che sei un pover’uomo, e che non arrivi all’angelicità dell’arte”.
Fausto Melotti "A work of art, when it is true, it estranges yourself from the world, it encircles you with this barrier of silence, and you see it as if through a glass, when it is true art, be it music or poetry, or sculpture, you always find yourself in front of this glass that tells you you are a miserable man, and that you will not reach to the angelic state of art."
L'opera è accompagnata da certificato di autenticità su fotografia rilasciato dall'artista
