Alex Rane and Tomas Watson in Dialogue at Accesso Galleria, Pietrasanta
Accesso Galleria in Pietrasanta presents a two-person exhibition featuring sculptor Alex Rane and painter Tomas Watson, curated by Brad Brubaker. Rane, born in New York in 1986 and based in Carrara, shows Carrara marble sculptures hand-carved without robotic assistance, marking his first use of this material at the gallery. Watson, born in England in 1971 and living in Athens, contributes dark, indefinite paintings from which partial body details or figures in geometric landscapes emerge. Both artists emphasize classical anatomy but reveal it only partially, with unfinished elements and cuts highlighting torsos and arms. The dialogue between the works, despite different media, echoes references to Michelangelo and Rodin.
