2006 Bronze Sculpture by Ugo Riva Innocente Provocazione

About the Item

This is an intense bronze sculpture created by the Italian artist Ugo Riva, in 2006. Lost wax bronze on iron basement. The title of this artwork is "Innocente provocazione" , translated in "Innocent provocation". In this astonishing sculpture, the bronze has been cast with an intense brown color, and for this reason it seems a terracotta sculpture, engraved by hand, by fingers, day by day adding details so realistic that give to the bronze sculpture, a kind of movement to the dress, in a classical shape. Ugo Riva was born in Bergamo, Italy, in 1951. He his considered one of the greater masters of contemporary Italian sculpture, sculptor classic with a visionary and modern spirit. From his youth and then in the period of higher education, Riva develops a strong interest in painting that leaves in 1977 to devote himself exclusively to sculpture. The sensuality of the sculptures by Riva is perfectly successful, he represents a different type of artist, who still sees his work in the classical tradition and art historian perspective and the relevance over future generation. Ugo Riva uses allegories as a figurative mode to represent a complex often classical alliterated state of mind. He has his major works in private and public collections: Cappella Sistina, Vatican City, Bible Museum Santa Fè, New mexico, Usa, Seoul in Korea, Transatlantico Amsterdam, New York Usa, Yageo Foundation, Taipei, Taiwan and many others.
