Korte beschrijving/Annotatie

Monografie over het werk van Renato Nicolodi, met een overzicht van sculpturen en schilderijen. De beelden tonen architecturale ruimtes met gangen en trappen die naar afgesloten doorgangen leiden. Licht en schaduw sturen de blik naar een onzichtbare binnenruimte, terwijl de kern een vorm van leegte lijkt te bewaren. Het werk verwijst naar archetypische gebouwen uit vroegere tijden en culturen, ontdaan van oorspronkelijke functie, ornament en dogma.

Tekst achterflap

Renato Nicolodi seeks to evoke a universal sacrality in his work. His sculptures and paintings imagine spaces with corridors and stairs leading to closed-off passageways. Light and shade draw the gaze of the spectator to the inside of the construction, which remains invisible. The core of the work seems to conserve some sort of emptiness. The artist refers to archetypical buildings from past times and cultures, stripping them of their original function, ornament, and dogma.
This special second-edition monograph showcases a comprehensive selection of Nicolodi's oeuvre, presenting his work in the most compelling way to date.
