Through the Void | Fabrizio Corneli
ENG.
Fabrizio Corneli’s work explores the dynamic relationship between light, shadow, and space, using surprising effects of refraction, decomposition, and anamorphosis to immerse viewers in purely perceptual experiences. His intricate geometries and structures create shadow-based sculptures and installations that blur the boundaries between science, mathematics, and art. These works, inspired by classical statuary or elements of nature, emerge as unpredictable revelations, encouraging viewers to interact with their shifting forms through movement and perspective.
From intimate pieces to monumental public works, Corneli’s installations lean on light to create the image, crafting spaces where perception and the ephemeral nature of light continuously reshape the artwork. With exhibitions across Europe and beyond, Corneli’s innovative approach has positioned him as a leading figure in contemporary art. His practice serves as a poetic meditation on dualities -light and shadow-, permanence and impermanence, structure and fluidity Corneli’s creations are more than art objects; they are invitations to experience the poetic interplay of permanence and impermanence, as well as the unexpected beauty hidden within the dialogue of light and shadow, revealing the profound beauty within these contrasts.
ESP.
El trabajo de Fabrizio Corneli explora la relación dinámica entre la luz, la sombra y el espacio, utilizando sorprendentes efectos de refracción, descomposición y anamorfosis para sumergir al espectador en experiencias puramente perceptivas. Sus complejas geometrías y estructuras dan lugar a esculturas e instalaciones basadas en sombras que desdibujan los límites entre la ciencia, las matemáticas y el arte. Estas obras, inspiradas en la estatuaria clásica o en elementos de la naturaleza, emergen como revelaciones impredecibles, invitando al espectador a interactuar con sus formas cambiantes a través del movimiento y la perspectiva.
Desde piezas íntimas hasta obras públicas monumentales, las instalaciones de Corneli se apoyan en la luz para crear la imagen, dando forma a espacios donde la percepción y la naturaleza efímera de la luz transforman continuamente la obra. Con exposiciones en toda Europa y más allá, el enfoque innovador de Corneli lo ha posicionado como una figura destacada en el arte contemporáneo. Su práctica funciona como una meditación poética sobre las dualidades —luz y sombra, permanencia e impermanencia, estructura y fluidez—. Las creaciones de Corneli son más que objetos artísticos: son invitaciones a experimentar el juego poético entre lo permanente y lo fugaz, así como la belleza inesperada que se oculta en el diálogo entre la luz y la sombra, revelando la profunda belleza contenida en estos contrastes.
