Fragments – Mauro Corda

FRAGMENTS

Mauro Corda est un explorateur de corps.

Ce dernier offre mille possibilités au sculpteur qui sait révéler l’intensité, la force magique du physique, sans jamais oublier ses malheurs, ses failles, ses vulnérabilités.

Tels des zooms sur des corps inachevés, Mauro Corda préfère parfois magnifier une partie soigneusement choisie d’un corps. La chair y est vibrante, le muscle saillant, la sensibilité palpable… Ses fragments sont autant d’empreintes laissées dans le marbre, le bronze ou la terre.

Mauro Corda is an explorer who sets his sails on the body.

He knows how to reveal the intensity, the magic beneath the physique, without forgetting the pain, the weaknesses, the vulnerability.

A focus on unfinished bodies, Mauro Corda sometimes chooses to glorify only a selected section of the anatomy. The flesh is vibrant, muscles are prominent, sensitivity is palpable… His “fragments” are traces stamped in marble, bronze or clay.
