Fabio Pietrantonio
CONTEMPORARY ART PAINTER AND SCULPTOR
The natural and cosmic order of Pietrantonio's work is expressed through materials such as wood, stone, powders, sand and pigments balanced with metals, gauze, textiles and even flower petals. An inexhaustible source of inspiration is drawn from these objects carefully selected from preserved environments and carefully combined together on plaster canvases in a harmony of shapes, colors and sensations.
The use of materials such as wood, paper, iron, textiles and plaster creates what Pietrantonio defines as "totems", multi-faceted objects, sculpted paintings that depict cosmic balance and harmony and transmit peace. This is what he succeeds in expressing according to several collectors and experts who have seen his work over the last twenty years. Meeting him at his shows and when preparing for such events in one of his workshops, people are in direct contact with the artist and, when they watch him at work in his own environment, they share his creative estro from the moment.
CONTEMPORARY ART EXHIBITION FOR THE PLANET
The series of works "Acupuncture for the Planet" comes from an artistic performance based on rituals, produced by Fabio Pietrantonio on the lands of Capichera and Arzachena, in one of the many "Tombs of the Giants" located in Sardinia. The mysterious megalithic remains of the Nuragic civilization have always inspired legends and folk traditions; It is believed that certain energy fields, which seem to gather there, produce healing and miraculous effects. On a cloudless summer day, aided by the percussive rhythm of a tribal dance and guided by the presence of seven women, the artist gave shape to a fascinating shamanic performance in which he exposed and traced the flows of energy of the place, digging hundreds of needle bamboos into the ground, representing a symbolic and powerful acupuncture for the planet.
According to the artist: "Bamboo is the tree that produces the most oxygen, so much so that its forests have always been the popular haunt of great Buddhist masters for meditation. Acupuncture for the planet consists of poke into the ground with a bamboo stick, creating positive contact, providing symbolic benefit to the earth, breathing and healing it as if it were a sick patient."
