from 23 September 2017 to 14 October 2017 Georg Viktor: Nuda Pietra |
|
ISculpture Gallery is pleased to present the solo exhibition “Nuda Pietra” by Georg Viktor, that will be held at the headquarters in San Gimignano (SI). The Catalogue, bringing the text of Patrick Pii will be available at the opening. “Viktor links up to a classicism in which the portrayals of eroticism and the sexual act were much more than merely accepted, being propitiatory to fertility, related to practices of worship or, more simply, descriptive of everyday habits. (…)Viktor, like many other great modern and contemporary artists, aims to overcome the limits. The material used is almost always diaphanously and harmoniously white Carrara marble, emphasising the purity within us all, along with trouble and restlessness, with which it contrasts.”

from 29 September 2016 to 30 October 2016 Wilhelm Heiliger: Journey into synthesis |
|
![]() |
Solo Exhibition: iSculpture Art Gallery San Gimignano | September 29th – October 30th, 2016 The relationship between shape and colour is the foundation of the history of art, during which it undergoes changes and analyses of every kind. From the classical age to the present day, we have witnessed the elaboration of various artistic perspectives, but they have always outlined a relationship of strict subordination of colour to shape. It is essential to ensure the comprehension of a certain type of message and, in this sense, colour is used almost to merely fill in the shape which provides the outlines. Colour is essentially assigned the role of dictating depth, softness or transparency, and of emphasising the aesthetic sense of artists and their work. With artists like Rothko and Pollock, or even earlier with the impressionists, we witness the attempt to make colour the true protagonist of the expressive medium, assigning it a central role in the composition, trying to detach it from the usual sense of shape. The colour palette is broken down and analysed in the tiniest detail, with a view to generating grace and balance. But would this balance continue to exist without shape? The answer lies in the consideration that however colour is used, every time it is applied to any surface, it generates a mark or a shape, albeit abstract. Its dimension and position in relation to other colours create the final result and together they determine the visual and aesthetic balance, or otherwise. In the works of Wilhelm Heiliger, we see a summary of these concepts, where photographic detail, a subject which is absolutely visible in objective reality, becomes shape, and digital chromatic processing accentuates or dissimulates the contours, to the point where it can even eliminate them, conveying new meanings and suggestions to the image every time. A roof becomes a dividing line with the blue sky, a shell, a flash of light, merging into abstractions which allow subjective poetic interpretations. In this sense, the concept of “shape” is dramatically changed in Heiliger’s works. It is no longer a container, a contour which fixes a somehow pre-existing content and makes it perceivable and transmissible. It opposes the absence of form and circumscribes void. This battle does not, however, consist in a suppression of antagonistic power – this can only happen in mediocre and definitively pacified art. In the authentic work of art, language does not abolish – it includes the non-language or the shapeless. iSculpture Gallery is pleased to offer its spaces to Wilhelm’s real yet fantastic works. We could ask ourselves what induces a gallery which deals exclusively with sculptures to present works that are apparently so far-removed from its usual proposal. The answer to this question lies in the desire to emphasise the importance of the relationship between shape and colour, concepts which are an absolute part of sculpture. The gallery also wants to open up to other forms of expression, to which alternative projects will be regularly dedicated in the future, highlighting once again the absolute non-existence of boundaries to beauty and art.
