Biography
In the works of sculptor Andrea Zanotti 1973 graduate of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera (Milan) we note that experiments with relationships, tensions and synergies between materials, the environment light and space in which plastic forms materialize expanding thanks to the qualities intrinsic material chosen and combinations of them all for their originality and specificity physics. In general, the contemporary art asks questions without answers is a cross-language forms and signs and Zanotti puts us up against the wall facing a planetary emergency: the need to protect nature showing assemblages of different materials against the destruction already in place on the planet evoking a disturbing future in which water is more precious than gold. In her recycled waste will suggest new experiments and formal solutions which are the sign or prophecy foretold of a Habitat destruction by conceptual artists of the 60 / 70.Zanotti: "In the materials used in the works, there are clear choices related to similarities with those that occurred during the years of artistic training. In recent works, in addition to iron and other elements I introduced other materials, in particular, the wax that is already used in art foundry where I worked for six years. The wax fascinates me for its organic transparency "protectiveness" for the perfume essence of Zen. Neon me to seduce his ascetic dimension, dreams, the concept of light / life energy at all. The bitumen / tar is a petroleum derivative and I chose it because it is the material for industrial excellence, energy source on which we depend and immortal because of war and environmental pollution. I chose it for its black color that evokes nothing. The monochrome black invites meditation on time and space My black oil is the beginning and the end of plastic forms in evolution, it evokes the cosmos and to meditate on the state of not being there.
