Description of the work
Description of the work
The theme of the angel is extremely widespread in both Western and especially Eastern sacred art. This is due to the fact that Byzantine art features more symbolic iconographic themes that reference religious dogma than specific narrative episodes. The figure of the angel often appears in this type of iconography, with its complex dogmatic meanings. Even in this work by Sergio Verginelli, the subject is none other than a representation of the intercession performed by angelic presences (not coincidentally, there are three) between the beneficent love radiated by God (represented by the sun) towards humanity (represented by the globe).
In addition to the refined iconography, the style of this work is also typical of Sergio Verginelli, with his complex sculptural language blending abstract and figurative. The surface of Verginelli's works is always complex and entirely occupied by the artist's creative act. The composition is based on a complex design that features a wide variety of lines, often illuminated by a sun appearing overhead. The slightly elongated volumes of the subjects are harmoniously arranged, rendered in a concise, expressionistic manner. The depiction of the surrounding elements that define the space, such as the clouds, is highly dynamic and colorful. The entire composition, therefore, has an extremely vibrant and frenetic rhythm, a hallmark of Sergio Verginelli's sculptural practice. However, even within this great dynamism, the artist's expressive ability is such that the subject remains clear and highly communicative.
Sergio Verginelli is a Roman artist born in 1941, coming from a family of artists. After various experiences, Sergio Verginelli chose sculpture as his medium, beginning with a classical naturalism. He later explored more expressive forms. He has a long career behind him, featuring numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe.
