Oriano Galloni

This sculpture is a contemporary take on the Greek kouros sculptures dating from 540-520 B.C. There are two important messages representing the totality of this work. First, the aesthetic power of the figure's position, with its forced movement, expresses all of its stillness giving him a great, formal energy, a point of strength and sense of mystery rendering him imposing and spiritual at the same time. Second, the romanticism and the power of the words, "my cat loves the moon" make this clearly masculine figure emit an imperceptible and abstract essence, where the form becomes the message and the message the form, in the simplicity of its symbolism without time.
