Aldo Rontini’s work is dedicated to a central theme in Italian sculpture: the naked body in a position of rest.
The finish of a shape fashioned with bare hands is bound to differ from one sculpted with the use of a chisel and hammer. Yet some of Rontini’s works demonstrate marble shadows and a lapidary touch, even when they are composed in earth or floury plaster. The epidermis of the works, which derives from a refined plastic process, is itself an example of transformation and grafting. Long coral roots emerge from the thighs and the sail of a drapery that contains wind and waves rises from a shapely rib.
Therefore the candid and sensual aesthetic of Aldo Rontini unfolds between metaphor and metamorphosis.
