Le forze cosmiche e quelle divine convergono verso il centro. L’attenzione è guidata dal linguaggio del metallo, tra superfici lisce e striate, nell’accostamento di vuoti e pieni, affinché l’osservatore sia condotto in uno stato di profondo raccoglimento.
In Mandala ammiriamo il lento depositarsi del pensiero nell’intimo della psiche, come se osservassimo la formazione di una stalagmite. Al contempo, nell’istante di uno sguardo, la scultura ci dona l’intuizione di un punto di contatto tra eternità e presente, tra divino e creato.
MANDALA is part of the MEMORIE ALCHEMICHE Collection: After having investigated into the mysteries of earth and of the vault of heaven, Alessandro Rametta seeks oneiric images, by exploring the endless possibilities of transmutation. Trusting to dream, letting images that long since live in the deep subconscious, become for the artist an unavoidable means for rebirth.
Fantasy and dreams burst out of unconscious like melted magma through symbols and archetypes, the hand moves along guided by spontaneous emotional forces, so that what is hidden deep down becomes visible. Thought becomes increasingly symbolic, all comes before language and sense, all reveals new aspects of reality that brave any other means of knowledge.
In Memorie Alchemiche the sculpting technique gradually becomes one with meditation: the shiny metal acts as a mirror, a typical means for introspection and for looking at oneself. The oneiric dimension unveils old enigmas and forces apparently contrasting that tend to harmonize when unified. Thus, through sculpture, conscience flies across shadow and light, water and fire, reality and dream to discover itself eventually renewed.
