On the occasion of the third edition of the International Contemporary Art Fair - Arte In Nuvola - in Rome, the sculptor Helidon Xhixha (Durazzo, 1970), in collaboration with the Galleria Poleschi of Milan, has created a site-specific sculptural project that will tower over 10 meters in front of one of the most scenic buildings in the capital, designed by the architect Massimiliano Fuksas - La Nuvola.

 

The work Getto di luce (2023, steel, cm 1050x150x130), was conceived by the artist with an iconic triangular shape, a warning of energy and dynamism, intent on tracing a defined direction, soaring upwards, which carries, despite all the events of which we are protagonists, a message of strength and positivity.

The difficulties, sufferings and contortions of today's society are highlighted in this work by the grooves along the central body and, as in all of Xhixha's works, it is the pervading light that "digs" the work, exposing human fragility. Hence the need to find a majestic structure in steel, capable of reassuring and giving strength to man's thought, creating a positive flow of energy, essential for a future of bright prospects.

 

Getto di luce was installed in the outdoor area at the entrance of the exhibition pavilion from 23 to 26 November 2023.
