The artist: Mario Branca
Mario Branca is a contemporary sculptor who transforms copper, iron and vitreous enamels into works of remarkable lightness. Through the direct forging of metal, he develops an artistic practice inspired by nature, memory and literature. His sculptures evoke a world suspended between reality and imagination.
Description
In Onirica Flying Chair Apple, Mario Branca creates a poetic composition in which everyday objects and natural forms merge into a single evocative image. The chair loses its original function and extends into slender copper roots that seem to grow freely through space, while the apple becomes the symbolic focal point of the sculpture.
The lightness of the metal structure contrasts with the solidity of the concrete base, suggesting a fragile yet vital balance. The work invites viewers to reflect on the processes of transformation that connect the natural world with the built environment.
Presented within the exhibition Living Extinction, the sculpture explores the interdependence of all living beings through a refined visual language. Rather than portraying ecological crisis through dramatic imagery, Branca offers a poetic reflection on coexistence, renewal, and the evolving relationship between humanity and nature.
Conclusion
Onirica Flying Chair Apple captivates with its elegant simplicity and its ability to transform metal into a poetic narrative. Discover this work in the exhibition Living Extinction at Galleria PUNTO SULL’ARTE in Varese and experience the distinctive artistic vision of Mario Branca.
