Salvatore Arancio: And These Crystals Are Just Like Globes Of Light

Federica Schiavo Gallery is pleased to present And These Crystals Are Just like Globes of Light, the third solo show by Salvatore Arancio at the gallery.

The artist’s aim, through the use of a range of media such as ceramics, collage, prints and video, is to give the sensation of a compact and homogeneous concept regardless of the fact that his practice is paradoxically composed of contrasting elements. Each facet of his practice contains an intertwining juxtaposition of the roots and representation of images: natural and artificial, mineral and vegetable, two-dimensional and three-dimensional, scientific and mythological. Departing from their literal meaning, Arancio creates new juxtapositions that are both beautifully evocative and deeply disquieting.
