"The artist looks for himself deep inside: he is oppressed by emotions and feelings, seeking to rid himself of his anguish and to feel liberated while doing his work "
Arnaldo Pomodoro is a contemporary Italian sculptor known for his geometric bronze works. His sculptures often contain blades or stalagmite-like objects, as taken in the process of transformation into another object. The artistic language of Arnaldo Pomodoro developed from the 1950s, through the definition of sculpture according to different themes: sphere, column, cube, stele, papyrus. The unique style developed by Pomodoro is embodied in imposing bronze pieces, a material dear to the artist: the bronze is torn, rent, burst apart from the inside, as if by an explosion at the centre of the sphere, the symbol of underlying life but a revelation of fragility, of unexpected wounds under the shell, as much as the internal architectural structure.
