Kinetic bronze sculpture, 2018. "Altair" is the brightest star in the constellation of Aquila and the twelfth brightest star in the night sky. The artist shapes his sculptures inspired by biomorphic tissue and the labyrinth, symbolizing the tortuous path of humanity looking for its essence, and revealing his recious soul. Meggiato thus invents the concept of “introsculpture” in which the observer point of view is drawn towards the inner part in the artwork, not only restricting on the surface. «On a formal level, space and light don’t define the work, sliding over it as if it were in-the-round; they indeed penetrate inside it, wrapping its lattices and tangles, reaching the central sphere point as as a quintessential point of arrival». - Sculpture by Gianfranco Meggiato (Italy), Bronze. Its dimensions are 60x55 cm. The artist's signature is present on the artwork. This artwork is part of the gallery Latest Artworks. Original Listing: USD 50250
