Sandro Chia's Figure con albero, 1994, vibrant ceramic sculpture with three abstract figures and a green stylized tree as background.

Acrylic and oil on hand-painted ceramic. - Support: cement and iron - Signed on the base. - Bibliography: Sandro Chia, Sculpture, Figures with Tree and. Domestica, 1994, p. 10-11 - M. Pratesi: "De Statua - Aspects Of Italian Sculpture Of The Twentieth Century" 2003, Ed. Masso delle Fate, Signa (FI), p. 81. // Sandro Chia’s Figure con albero is a hand-painted ceramic sculpture created in 1994. The piece depicts a trio of abstracted figures, positioned in a dynamic and intimate grouping, set against a stylized tree. The vibrant use of acrylic and oil paints brings a sense of immediacy and energy to the work, with bold colors like yellow, black, and pink applied to emphasize the flowing forms of the figures. The tree, rendered in green, serves as a backdrop that adds both depth and symbolism, possibly referencing themes of growth, shelter, or rootedness. The rough, textured surface of the ceramic creates a tactile quality, further enhancing the expressive nature of the sculpture.Chia, a key figure in the Transavanguardia movement, often explores the human condition, mythological themes, and classical forms through his works. In Figure con albero, the intertwining figures seem to suggest a narrative of connection, protection, or familial bonds, all conveyed through Chia’s characteristically dynamic, expressive style. Signed on the base, the sculpture is supported by cement and iron, grounding its sculptural presence both physically and conceptually.

What is Transvanguardia ?

Transavanguardia is the Italian version of Neo-Expressionism, referring to an art movement that emerged in Italy and other parts of Western Europe during the 1970s and 1980s. The term translates to beyond the avant-garde. Transavanguardia arose as a reaction against the dominance of conceptual art, reintroducing emotion and reviving painting as a primary medium. The movement marked a return to mythic imagery and figurative art, celebrating a rediscovery of traditional forms and themes in a contemporary context.
