Catalogo Fuoco Cammina con me | Valeria Vaccaro

Catalog of the solo exhibition by Valeria Vaccaro: “Fire Walks With Me” at PUNTO SULL’ARTE Gallery.

Valeria Vaccaro, a refined sculptor from Turin and winner of the VAF Award 2022, will be the protagonist of the exhibition “Fire Walks With Me” at PUNTO SULL’ARTE. The vernissage will take place on Saturday, November 30, 2024, from 11 AM to 1 PM at the gallery located at Viale Sant’Antonio 59/61, Varese. The artist will be present.

Valeria Vaccaro has developed a unique sculptural language, combining the monumentality of marble with themes such as fragility, metamorphosis, and transience. The exhibition will feature works from various cycles, including Marmiferi, Aver Cuore, Urban Platform, Handle With Care, Tree of Life, Non Brucio, and the new series Controsenso.

Valeria Vaccaro’s works explore the symbolism of fire, inspired by a film by David Lynch. Through antithetical concepts such as destruction and rebirth, solidity and fragility, the artist reflects on the contradictory nature of existence.

The Marmiferi series presents matches sculpted from Carrara marble, while Urban Platform and Handle With Care monumentalize pallets and packing crates. The Aver Cuore and Non Brucio series utilize burn effects on blocks of typographic characters, creating fragments of Visual Poetry.

The Tree of Life series explores the contrast between full and empty, while Controsenso focuses on the expressive potential of marble, with sculptures that mimic the charred effect of wood.

A bilingual catalog, “Fire Walks With Me,” featuring the exhibited works and text by curator Ivan Quaroni, will accompany the exhibition, which will be on display until December 21, 2024.
