Lucio Oliveri - Awakening

The human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the classical age, the naturalistic rendering of human anatomy has been a primary goal of painters and sculptors throughout history. The representation of the nude is the ultimate expression of this aspiration, pervasive across all eras and stylistic trends. Indeed, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations of the Renaissance and various classicisms, which aimed for a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the nude has also been a central theme in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde movements, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.

Lucio Oliveri's research focuses on the study of the human body, which is the protagonist of his sculptures. As we can see from this female nude, he has an exquisitely classical vision, dictated by principles of naturalistic rendering, harmony, and balance. The representation is based on a clear exaltation of plastic values, softly modeled with refined anatomical precision. Even the movement and torsion of the body are rendered naturally. In this particular sculpture, we note a certain elongation of the proportions, further accentuating the sense of momentary and unrepeatable balance, expressed by the graceful and ethereal movement of the woman in the moment of awakening.

Lucio Oliveri was born in Milan in 1934, where he lives and works. His passion for sculpture began at the age of twenty, when he decided to create a plasticine portrait of his deceased father. In the 1970s, he trained at the Centro Artistico Culturale Milanese. He quickly acquired a figurative language that he later applied to his symbolic and elegantly allusive creations. His career has been marked by numerous awards and he has held numerous solo exhibitions both in Italy and abroad.
