Description of the work
Description of the work
Nico Venzo's entire sculptural oeuvre is expressed through a profound study of the human figure, embracing a mimetic and naturalistic approach to artistic creation. Nico Venzo develops his subjects, including religious ones, to highlight the full potential of the human body, especially the female form. His subjects, in fact, are elaborated into complex compositions where the artist celebrates the beauty of the human body. His figures are distinguished by the challenging positions of their limbs and complex twists and postures. Nico Venzo's work is thus a testament to his virtuosity in the representation of the human body, with a highly classical sense of artistic expression. Indeed, his sculptural output consistently seeks balance, harmony, and unity.
His extraordinary technique allows him to consistently achieve a completely naturalistic rendering. Each subject is meticulously crafted with meticulous attention to detail. However, it's clear that Nico Venzo is constantly pursuing a more expressionist stylistic style, through a striking contrast in his different approaches to the material. While the face of this bust is treated with the naturalistic rendering that distinguishes the sculptor, the entire body of the sculpture is left almost raw. The hair, in particular, is treated with distinctly textured connotations, making the surface extremely vibrant and alive. Thus, the more realistic parts, with their perfectly smooth surfaces, almost seem to emerge from the roughly sketched mass in a struggle for form over matter, clearly referencing Michelangelo's work and its contemporary interpretations by masters such as Rodin and Medardo Rosso.
Nico Venzo is a sculptor and painter originally from Bassano del Grappa. He entered the art world at the age of 14, earning a long list of awards and successes. His major exhibitions include those in Bassano del Grappa, Vicenza, Desenzano del Garda, Treviso, Belluno, Rome, Perugia, Naples, Paris, Montreal, and Takaoka (Japan). His works
appear in important public and private collections in Italy and abroad in the city
like Ultrecht, Lausanne, Hamburg, London, Paris, Osaka
