Santicri Mixed media Dimensions: 90x50x15 cm The work is accompanied by a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity Limited edition 2/8 This contemporary canvas arises from the meeting between one of the most famous symbols in art history and a contemporary visual language. Michelangelo's David's head is reinterpreted and pulled out of its sculptural dimension, transforming into a presence suspended between matter, image and color. The faucet becomes a real time portal: from it the sculpture seems to be sucked in and simultaneously returned in a new form. The matter and color that stem from it represent the passage from classical art to a contemporary vision, in which an icon of the past is fragmented, transformed and reassembled again. The work thus reflects on the relationship between memory and transformation, showing how a masterpiece can continue to live even when removed from its original context and reinterpreted through a completely different language. The fusion between the monumental nature of David and the everyday contemporary element of the faucet creates a deliberately disorienting contrast: art history is not merely cited, but seems to be literally dragged into the present and transformed into new creative matter.
