CATEGORY: PERCORSI D’ARTE
PROJECT: SOTTO LA BUCCIA TROVI L'ANIMA
This sculpture reflects our human naturalness. We are all somewhat “rough” at first glance … as rough as the surface of marble used over the centuries for various positive and negative purposes that in some way forge our skin.
Yet inside us, underneath, lies the treasure of our soul. The goal lies in managing to bring out this treasure so that it shines in all its purity.
THROUGH THIS SCULPTURE AND THIS ALLEGORY, I HOPE TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT WE SHOULD NEVER STOP AT APPEARANCES, AT THE "SKIN", BUT HAVE PATIENCE AND CURIOSITY, ALLOWING OTHER PEOPLE TO OPEN UP LIKE FLOWERS IN SPRING. LIGHT ... STRENGTH ... LOVE
Yet reaching such a form takes a certain degree of discipline, like a warrior of light who has to pass through various, increasingly difficult challenges to find serenity, light, strength and love.
SYLVESTRE GAUVRIT
Born in an ancient oak forest shortly before the 1980s, Sylvestre spent most of his childhood climbing trees and observing nature and, later on, surfing waves all over the world. Sylvestre was a sculptor even before he was born, always holding objects and tools in his hands, and boasting an imagination that did rest, as well as being extremely sensitive, perspicacious and rather shy.
He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara and later worked in various art studios in Pietrasanta where he acquired marble carving techniques, especially for monumental works, and he founded his studio where he gave life to his creations. His sculptures are now included in public and private collections in the main cultural capitals of the world, such as as Paris, London, Rome, Amsterdam, Hong-Kong, Dubai, Pietrasanta (where he works) and The Hague (where he lives).

Curated by Raffaello Galiotto
The Percorsi d’Arte exhibition – now at its second edition – 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. Some international artists who have experimented for some time with numerical control stone processing technologies team up with leading Italian companies in machinery, software and tools sectors to create five works focusing on the theme of natural stone. The exhibition seeks to highlight the relationship between artistic expression, technology and the naturalness of stone.
