Salvatore Alibrio - Screen's Venus

"Screen's Venus" is a work that revisits the classic canon of beauty in a bold and contemporary way. The artist challenges our expectations by presenting a fragmented Venus de Milo, symbol of ancient perfection and grace, and overlays it with an estraneous and anachronistic element: a colored mask. This mask, apparently digital or drawn from a futuristic aesthetic, covers the face of the goddess, denying us her expression and her identity. The mask's smooth, monolithic surface starkly contrasts with the sculpture's rough texture and imperfections, underscoring the collision between the past and the present. The work raises deep questions about the perception of beauty and identity in the modern era. The mask may represent alienation, the loss of authenticity, or the pressure to conform to imposed ideals. It is a sharp analysis of how digital culture and globalization are reshaping not only the way we see the world, but also ourselves. "Screen's Venus" pushes us to ask: what remains of our humanity when history and tradition are obscured by a superficial aesthetic? Salvatore Alibrio, born 1991, is an artist who has developed a significant sculptural research, participating in exhibitions and symposia, including those promoted by the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania. His practice explores artistic language through an iconographic vocabulary that unites tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble, and clay, revealing a deep connection with his cultural roots. His work addresses contemporary social issues, often reflecting on current tragedies. Alibrio reinterpretates the recognizable through a logic of fragmentation, stimulating critical reflections. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language capable of expressing tension and force. The work will be shipped with a certificate of authenticity.
