Wooden sculpture Wrapped n° 2

metalstonecomposite material

30x20x40 cm. Material: Jesmonite, wood, twine, metal oxydes, 2022. 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.
