Italian artist Patrick Alò found in the recycling of scrap metal his medium for expressing his talent, creating and reproducing sculptures inspired by Renaissance artists’ works and figures from myths in Classical Antiquity.
From student movements to occupations for social activities to ‘squats’ he discovers his passion for industrial archaeology, recycling and cyberpunk, and his love for classicism melts there. For him, the use of “recycled” or poor materials is no longer even civil ethics or the rejection of the civilization of waste, but already an adaptation, a mutation, both in the way we look at objects and how we use them. In the Classical culture, he finds the most interesting subjects for his expression and in particular in the metamorphoses: the assembled human-animal, the hybrids, and the mutations evoke in his eyes the immense imaginative power of nature that in the incessant casual search renew the creation, and find their best synthesis in being represented by the fusion of objects with different origins.
