Sculpture

Riccardo Dalisi, as a magician does for his magic, gathers barbed wire and net to build chick en coops, iron and copper, brass. From these materials, properly worked, come to the life of art the Players and the Kings, the Centaurs and the Sphinx, the figures of Devotion, Christand Our Lady, the Warriors. These humble materials are "treated" by the artist with ancient techniques and sapiential memory tounderline the gap between their poverty and the persistence and vitality of an indispensable heritage.
