Sergio Risaliti on Remo Salvadori's Poetics of Cyclical Time and Cosmic Harmony
Sergio Risaliti, the artistic director of Museo Novecento in Florence, offers a personal insight into the life of Italian artist Remo Salvadori, emphasizing his origins in Tuscany and his artistic development in Milan. Salvadori, who hails from San Zio near Cerreto Guidi, creates his art in the solitude of his family residence. His style, shaped by Renaissance influences, began to take form in the early 1970s in Milan, where he interacted with Arte Povera artists at Galleria Christian Stein. Risaliti views Salvadori's work "Continuo infinito presente" as a metal ring representing cyclical time. This piece has been displayed in various venues, such as Fattoria Montellori and Stiftung Insel Hombroich. Salvadori's latest series, "Tazze," showcases cut metal sheets, embodying his approach of "knotting earth to universal harmony."
