Alberto Cavalieri
My work focuses on challenging our physical laws and altering our sense of logic, bending and transforming materials to create the impression that the works are not man-made. I create sinuous, twisted steel forms that outline spaces organically; forms that
can be easily joined together, blend in with the architecture, and sometimes seem to levitate.
I like the idea that my pieces enter into a complex dialogue with the spaces they occupy and generate off-beat rhythms that destabilize the horizontal and vertical order we presuppose with our Cartesian conception of space. To create the sculptures, I had to develop my own techniques and tools and try out different processes ranging from high technology and numerical control to ancient and elemental steel.
Metal allows me to create a fundamental paradox between matter and form: to create sinuous shapes, full of life and movement, in stark contrast to the rigidity and structure of the material, steel, that I use to make them. Knots are one of the abstract forms I use, and their multiple symbolisms
increase the scope and resonance of my work.
Knots involve human activity and have different connotations depending on how they are used; connotations that could even be contradictory and/or ambivalent. Humans tie knots to solve countless functional situations: they are a metaphor for life.
