The new possibilities made available by numerical control machines every day in creating objects and other works in marble help us discover new forms of expression, invent new surfaces, conceive form in positive and negative ways on the basis of 3D models.

An apparently improvised, almost manual expression capable of juxtaposing surface imperfections created with different rhythms depending on the various processing axes.

Nicolas Bertoux was born in France and began his career as an interior architect in Paris before focusing entirely on sculpture. His main goal is to integrate his works into the environment by taking inspiration from the space, culture, history and nature of the location. His monumental sculptures have been installed in France at the European Parliament in Strasbourg and in Ronchamp city centre. Other public art projects can be seen in Taiwan at the Taipei Transport Institute, the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts and the Hsin Chu Cultural Centre, as well as Shanghai Corporate Avenue and the Beijing Olympic Park in China.

The Percorsi d’Arte exhibition seeks to investigate how machinery can be used in artistic processing of stone materials. In recent years, with the spread of numerical control technologies, industry and small businesses in the natural stone sector have installed increasingly high-performance systems. Even for art workshops, initially reluctant to introduce such devices, the use of these new tools seems now to be viewed as an interesting opportunity for renewal. A group of international artists, sharing an experimental research path in the use of new technologies, has created a series of works designed and implemented entirely with software and computer-controlled machinery.
This exhibition seeks to stimulate rethinking of artistic activity associated with this topic. All works were created starting from blocks having the same dimensions (180x80x30cm) in order to stimulate enhancement of the material while also limiting the production of waste.
