Alessio Ranaldi

Sculptures by Italian artist Alessio Ranaldi explore the dynamic cohesion of opposites through a staggering variety of forms. Pairing unlikely shapes and vivid, contrasting colors, he presents a type of ying and yang, offering audiences a meditative, thoughtful stillness. The sculptures almost beg to be touched, the solid forms appearing delicate and ethereal. Resin is completely solid, yet Ranaldi achieves an incredible fluidity with the material that seems incongruous and surreal. His style is a symbolic abstraction, speaking and questioning in a realm beyond language. “My works are based on the relationship between action and reaction,” he explains. “[The interaction of] shapes and colors evoke sensations of tension or relaxation.”

Ranaldi works with hanging sculpture where he “paints” with resin, producing potent objets d’art. He continues to grow artistically, experimenting with plastic and wood and branching out into jewelry, installation and monumental sculpture. Ranaldi has exhibited in Italy, France, Turkey, Russia, Australia, and the United States.
