Bruno Lucchi - Guardians of Dreams

The human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the classical age, the naturalistic rendering of human anatomy has been a primary goal of painters and sculptors throughout history. The representation of the human figure has permeated every era and stylistic movement. Indeed, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations of the Renaissance and various classicisms, which aimed for a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, it has also played a leading role in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde movements, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.

This group of works by Bruno Lucchi is particularly interesting for appreciating the artist's study of the human figure. For Bruno Lucchi, the basis remains the reality of a concrete and tangible representation, immediately relatable to the subject. But the artist, at the same time, feels the need to go beyond mere phenomenal reality and integrate it with his own subjectivity. For this reason, the figures undergo unnaturalistic deformations, which nevertheless play a fundamental role in their expression. Lucchi tends to elongate the volumes and emphasize a fluid and sinuous plasticity, which seems to be sculpted by the wind. All this is at the expense of physiognomic and realistic details, which are of no interest to the artist. In this way, he creates a synthetic figure, with an archaic and evocative expressive power.

Bruno Lucchi is a Trentino sculptor, born in Levico in 1951. He creates terracotta figures that become bronzes and porcelains, but he also experiments with new materials such as Corten steel. He has had over 200 solo exhibitions and countless group exhibitions, all in the most prestigious art galleries in Italy and abroad.
