I'm wondering what's about that..

I took this picture during the vernissage of the Venice Biennale. It was June. This is an artwork of Urs Fisher, under the title "Illuminations". His work involves three 1:1 sized wax candle sculptures. The figures are self-destruct during the show.  In the picture you can see just 2 of the 3 candles, the third is (was?) an office's chair.
The impressive reproduction of "Il ratto delle Sabine" of Giambologna is probably still burning, by the way it was a 4 meters tall candle, but the "candle man"...?What's about it?I think it's over and I'm in some way sorry for that :(

Two months after visiting the Biennale I'm still thinking about what I saw and changing my mind every day about which was the best work exhibited, this is one of my fav so far, Urs Fisher is a great artist that perfectly understood how to deal with a temporary ad monumental event like the Biennale of Art: make something great, make something that goes along harmoniously with the space, make something that will wear out during the event. Great!

"Pix-cell Mario" artwork of Kohei Nawa

the picture I'm posting today is not of one of my works, this is a real piece of art of the Japanese artist Kohei Nawa.
I had the pleasure to work with him in occasion of his first solo show in Italy that was at the gallery where I work.
Kohei is a very nice guy and an extremely talented artist, he's one of my favorite ever. This is a small pice of a Mario Bros figure covered with glass beads, maybe this is not one of the more representative and important pieces, but of course is one of my fav.!
Few days ago was Kohei's birthday, so I deceided to dedicate this post to him and his art.
