Italian sculptor Fabio Viale uses a refined, cultured, eccentric, and extraordinarily contemporary approach to historic sculpture-making, which he interprets in a very personal language. provocative when necessary, his work expresses the poetics of displacement and often intends to create a fracture.
The main feature of his tattooed marble sculptures is that they are not colored on the surface — not painted over — but that the ink infiltrates the marble in a very similar manner as tattoos penetrate human skin.
