Igor Mitoraj

An exhibition dedicated to a master who made Pietrasanta, which he called 'Little Athens', his home. A dozen works in marble and bronze that bear the characteristic and unmistakable signs of Igor Mitoraj's art, large and medium-sized sculptures with windows that open onto the purity of the surface of the bodies. Sculptures with gazes projected towards the past, almost regretted as opposed to a present that one is almost afraid to look at, as perceived by the faces deprived of their eyes, or wrapped in transparent bandages that allow the features to be perceived, in classic forms that breathe eternity.

This surreal atmosphere that permeates Mitoraj's sculptures disappears whenever his works are placed in a lived context, be it ancient or modern, effectively becoming new works of art that are no longer finished in themselves, but contemporary installations, capable of project ourselves into the most remote past, or into the most futuristic future.
