This work, cast in silver and gilded brass, features a partially open sphere revealing a complex, textured interior—one of Pomodoro’s signature stylistic elements. The contrast between the smooth, polished surface and the intricate, almost organic inner detailing suggests themes of tension between order and chaos, concealment and revelation.

Medium

Mixed Media

Mixed MediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage.

Sculpture is the appropriation of one’s own space within the wider space in which we live and move.
- Arnaldo Pomodoro

Arnaldo Pomodoro (b. 1926 Italy) is an acclaimed Italian sculptor known for his monumental sculptures that blend geometric abstraction with rich textures and intricate detail. Pomodoro's work is characterized by his iconic "Sphere within Sphere" series, large bronze globes with exposed interiors that reveal complex mechanical structures. These sculptures are both technically impressive and conceptually profound, symbolizing the tension between perfection and decay, order and chaos. Pomodoro often explores themes of time, space, and the human condition, using polished, reflective surfaces that invite viewers to contemplate their relationship with the surrounding environment. His public sculptures are featured in prominent locations around the world, including the Vatican Museums, the United Nations Headquarters, and major cities such as Milan and Paris. Pomodoro's mastery of bronze and his innovative approach to form and structure have established him as one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. (Artist website)

What is abstract art?

Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
