In a very big exhibition, where paintings, drawings, sketches and engravings of the last five years are collected, sculptures represent the possibility to create a new synthesis between sign, sound and material, in a circular space full of obstacles that let Mariconti show his inner landscape. Doing this, he refuses the traditional paths of representation that in any case he had already dissected in his painting and the battlefield where he proves his planning and technical ability is the three-dimensional surface. […] They are sculptures with a double soul that develop their potentiality of sign and language and, at the same time, act as a connection between the material sphere and the immaterial one. All that flaws into an interesting, singular solution, according to synesthetic and performative experiences. […]
The resulting image reminds us about a natural element, an acorn indeed, hanging like fruit on a tree. But this research refuses any categorization and it’s not by chance that the ambiguous structure of the sculptures evokes a Chinese box, because it hides many other suggestions and references to past worlds and we can perceive urns, jars and prehistoric utensils.

About This Project
.
The evolution of mankind underwent a swift turn with the discovery of metal: overcoming the agricultural phase is to enter the metallurgical phase, and this is a path that leads to the birth of modern societies, to the cities. The first artistic offspring of the first metal age is the spectacular spread of the megalithic art and cults, that covered the whole Europe from the Atlantic coasts to the Caucasian area, from Scandinavia to the lower shores of Mediterranean basin. This phenomenon happened during the Copper Age, between the end of the 4^th millennium BC and the whole 3^rd millennium BC, and was substantiated by the production and erection of stelae, menhirs and boulders, sometiomes shaped as portrayals of anthropomorphic gods or maybe heroic ancestors, placed in sacred places, sanctuaries.

About This Project
.
The artwork of Andrea is an experience of nature, for the artist’s reason enables the natural elements which he chooses, respectfully uses and combines, to speak with greater clarity and frankness. Thus the material used is no longer simply the instrument of expression, but in its own turn it becomes part of the content of that expression, yet without confusing the identity of signifier, medium and signified, as it happens even in the most lyric informale artworks.
