Il percorso artistico di Pinosio nasce da una riflessione intima: “Che cos’è la voce?, Come tradurre in scultura le sensazioni che provo mentre canto?” . Da queste domande iniziali si dipana un filo che esplora concetti come leggerezza, essenzialità, pieno e vuoto, aria.
Lo scultore ha ascoltato le ombre dei suoi disegni, interrogato le sottilissime teste di elefante ed è andato altrove, portando con sé tutta la meraviglia e la forza interiore della sua leggerezza.
For Pinosio, Anatomy refers to the art of observation and self-awareness. Similarly, when we anatomise a garden, we delve into the essence of nature and connect with the beauty that surrounds us, merging with the natural world.
No one is empty. However, we can experience emptiness with our own empty bodies. Nobody is empty but…no…body is empty.
“These works represent lovers, contemplatives caught in their emotional expressions. Expressions such as love which, like the sea and the wind, if it calms us today, supports us and elevates us, tomorrow will be able, in a single instant, to disturb and divide us”.
I usually define Giovanni Pinosio’s way of sculpting by using a paradox: baroque minimalism. Pinosio’s baroque is the sum of minimal, overlaid lines developing the discourse of the body in time and space.
Blending two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional sculptures in an original way, Giovanni Pinosio tackles complex elements such as the void and the immaterial.
Pinosio’s artistic journey begins with an intimate reflection: “What's voice? How can I translate into sculpture the sensations I experience while singing?”
From these initial questions, a thread unravels and explores concepts such as lightness, essentiality, fullness and emptiness, air.
The sculptor has listened to the shadows of his drawings, questioned the slender and subtle elephant heads and has gone elsewhere, taking with him all the wonder and inner strength of that lightness.
