Matter and plastic tension
Work published in an exhibition catalogue with the artist still alive, at Galleria Gissi.
Meteorite belongs to the mature phase of Roberto Crippa’s research, in which matter becomes the absolute protagonist.
Cork is transformed into a dynamic and vibrant surface, traversed by plastic tensions that recall the celebrated “Spirali,” yet with a greater material density.
The work is part of the artist’s experimental path between painting and sculpture, where the support is no longer a simple base but an active body of the work.
