Rapito (Bronzo di Riace), 2016 by Daniele Accossato Represented by MonShareArt @VISITFLORIDA #LoveFL @MiamiandBeaches #FoundinMiami @SCOPEArtShow @MonShareArt #DanieleAccossato Daniele Accossato re-imagines classical sculptures as kidnapped victims, forced into the scenario of being shipped off. He aims to introduce a new take on the traditional practice of sculpting and confront the viewer with the reality of art transportation, as well as repatriation. The sculptures are also self-ironic in the way they approach those issues. Accossato takes sculptures of recognizable origin, including the Nike of Samothrace, the Riace Bronzes warriors, or mythic Gods like Apollo or Eros, and introduces them to a new context. In an attempt to raise new questions on the way art is commodified and de-aestheticized. (at SCOPE Art Show) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL2upTWH2uQ/?igshid=1f1wtgrwp7xtt
