Mattia Bosco's Stone Sculptures at Galleria Lorenzo Vatalaro
Mattia Bosco (b. 1976, Milan) presents recent stone sculptures at Galleria Lorenzo Vatalaro in Milan. The works are carved from blocks sourced from mountains he explores, resulting in dense, layered surfaces with natural hues and unexpected gold-painted details. Bosco places the sculptures directly on the floor or wall without pedestals, emphasizing their autonomous formal structure and direct spatial occupation. The exhibition is described as concise yet paradigmatic of Bosco's investigation into sculpture's internal networks and material transformation. Critic Lorenzo Madaro notes the show offers an honest overview of contemporary Italian sculpture.
