Alessandro Roma, Subito mi spoglio ed esco mezzo nudo sotto la pioggia, 2011, resin, water.
donated by the artist

In the garden of Casa Testori stands the sculpture by Alessandro Roma, exhibited during the show Chang-E4.

In Alessandro Roma’s work there is a kind of primordial breath, a natural element that serves as the generating principle of the piece — a source used to define the very nature of human perception.
His works hold together both fragmentation and the completeness of physical matter, just as the figurative and abstract aspects coexist.

Faced with his works, the viewer is challenged by a tightrope-walking art: balancing the sense of the sublime with the feeling of vertigo.

Moreover, the anthropomorphic forms of Roma’s sculpture sketch out surreal, imaginative visions — yet even here, these undefined places demand a careful gaze, revealing to the most attentive observer a world that hints at trees, rocks, rivers, flowers, ruins, nymphaea, paths, animals, and figures.
