About the Item
Sezione Aurea A7 is a unique sculpture by contemporary artist Mattia Bosco. This sculpture is made of Palissandro marble and gold leaf, dimensions are 72 × 53.5 × 4 cm (28.3 × 21.1 × 1.6 in).
The process used by the artist is significantly different from that of traditional sculpture, where the sculptor begins with a block of stone that already contains the desired and imagined form and then removes extra material. For Mattia Bosco, on the other hand, the sculptor's intervention is straightforward, constrained, and limited, and it only seeks to bring out and purify the form that is already present in the stone. Form and substance are therefore inseparable; stone, for example, is already a potential sculpture because it always tends to take on a particular shape. The artist chooses the fascinating rocks from among the extracted fragments right there in the quarries. He gives them a base, sets them vertically, and begins to leave his own imprint on the surface.
The artist uses gold leaf to emphasise particular shapes and lines in the stone. This body of work, titled "Sezione aurea" (Latin for "Golden section"), was inspired by the discovery of mica-containing rocks. The artist chose to use gold leaf to crystallise this presence of gold because this mineral gives the stone its sparkle. Gold is compared to light in its solid state by Mattia Bosco, who sees stone as the solid manifestation of time.
Mattia Bosco works between Milan and the mountainous Piedmont region. He selects the stones that fascinate him in the quarries, then he draws out and purifies the form already present in the stone by slightly sculpting it and accentuates some sections by applying some gold leaves onto it. The resulting abstract marble sculptures are very elegant and poetic. The sculptor has exhibited his work in several renowned institutions such as the Museum Tinguely in Basel and the Triennale Design and Art Museum in Milan. An installation of twelve marble sculptures was exhibited at the Colosseum Archaeological Park in 2023. “The sculptor’s intervention is a collaboration, following the possibilities that are manifest in the material.”
