About the Item
A true pioneer, Italian artist and designer Augusto Betti between the 50s and the 60s began to experiment with the countless possibilities of new synthetic materials. Among his most significant resin sculptures, “Scatola dei sentimenti” (feelings box).
In the artist’s own words:
“The harmony of this work is created by the union between a very sweet and sinuous shape and a linear and rigid one. The sculpture once closed assumes a rigid geometric shape. When the observer opens it, he finds the complementary aspect, the surprise, the pulsation, the poetry. These two aspects, apparently opposite, could give rise to a contrast or cancel each other out but having a harmonious relationship they generate emotion from their contrast, enhancing each other. In this work, harmony is determined by the coming together of the two elements. One plus one does not make two: there is the added value of the relationship between them which is immense.”

Materials: metal structure with brass welds, circular base in natural iron, brass sphere that allows manual rotation of the sculpture
An artistic project by the Venetian architect who, on the occasion of the exhibition Tobia Scarpa _ Dall’arte della misura silenziosamente(Paradisoterrestre Gallery – Bologna, 2020), creates three limited edition artworks for Paradisoterrestre, starting from an interpretation of Melencolia I, enigmatic masterpiece realized by Albrecht Dürer in 1514.
Tobia Scarpa breaks down the representation, extrapolating two of the key elements present in Dürer’s engraving related to the geometric-mathematical field: the polyhedron and the magic square.
