Wooden sculpture Cage n° 8 – Testa di Apollo

stonecomposite materialoutdoor

Testa di Apollo (gold version) 35x35x50 cm. Material: Jesmonite, wood, metal oxides, 2017 Works of inestimable value are tied, gagged and locked up in narrow containers ready to be stored and then dispatched. The key to interpretation lies not so much in the sculptural subject (which is reduced to an archetype), as in its “setting”, the container. The sculptures are displayed in their transport containers, crates or wooden cages that are both confining and protective. The crates, the cages, the packaging, make the work into a commodity. Something that will be dispatched, transported, sold and then resold and re-transported. Daniele Accossato was born in 1987 in Turin. From a very young age he began to devote himself to sculpture, which he chose as his preferred expressive language. He studied at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin.
