The curatorial concept of this exhibition derives from the artistic-esthetical symbology of the number five: symbol of a polymorphic mind undergoing constant change which forces us to employ both our exterior and interior competence to reach an aliquid.
An intense symbology which permeates the entire experience of this exhibition: harmony and contrast, research and sublimation all take shape in this emotional realization of the five diverse souls of the artists.

Sculpture combines the concrete attempt to shape the world around us and, at the same time, to infuse those perceptions, which impress the human soul with major force.
An interpretation in which the artist is transformed into a privileged medium.
For this reason, we have proposed to reunite five sculptors and five diverse ways of translating the world which surrounds us into an esthetical language by means of an acute analysis of one’s senses together with a declination of perceptions deriving from the works of five diverse artistic souls.

In this third edition,Tablinum has selected five international sculptors for both their excellence in execution as well as the peculiarity in their technique and materials to represent the five souls of sculpture, but also the diverse dialogue that their works provoke in the spectator.

Roberto Piaia has always represented the female soul infusing in his pictorial and sculptural works the teachings of strongly innovative techniques by the ancient masters, fruit of his studies and constant experimentation, which make him an authentic pioneer.
Mr. Piaia will present at the Five Souls of Sculpture his works “Mudra” and “Over in Bronze” one in bronze and the other in an alloy of bronze and steel, the result of personal studies and experimentations, both of which are an expression of the Assurfivo artistic current of which he is the founder.

Alexandra Slava Sevostianova is the youngest of the artists selected for this third edition. Hers is a career of promising success: at the age of only twenty, Alexandra Slava Sevostianova has already achieved important acknowledgements among which that of the Art Renewal Center and her works have already been on display in private collections in Ukraine, Malta, France and Italy. Ukraine, Malta, France and Italy.

Teresa Condito who has been a member of the Collettivo la Grand Bouffe at the 56th. Biennale of Venice, where she received an official prize from the state of Guatamala and from the Commissioner of the National Pavilion, returns to exhibit with Tablinum, following Ars Naturans, which was held at the Villa Carlotta Botanical Garden Museum. The works on exhibit at The Five Souls of Sculpture eloquently express a phase of strong artistic inspiration from whose emotions new creative solutions emerge. Thus works like “Black and White”, “Thrill” and “Metamorphosis” are born.

Cecilia Martin Birsa reproposes at The Five Souls of Sculpture three works which were hailed as a great success at her latest personal exhibition in Venice at the Rosenberg Gallery, which coincided with the 5Th. centenary of the Venetian Jewish Ghetto: “Arcuata”, “Donna allo Specchio” and “Nodo Nero”; sculptures in which the artist manages to liberate from stone forms of atavic sensuality of her own female universe.

Pablo Atchugarry divides his time between Uruguay, his native country, and Italy where he has been living since 1978. Since the beginning of his career he has dedicated his artistic sculptural research by expressing his own poetic talent by means of various materials. In 2015, he presented 40 of his works at a personal “Pablo Atchugarry – Città Eterna, Eterni Marmi” exhibition at the Fori Imperiali Museum in Rome. He also created a sculpture engraved in olive wood, which was more than 800 years old for the Uruguayan pavilion at Expo 2015, entitled “La vida después de la vida”. On the occasion of The Five Souls of Sculpture exhibition, he will present his latest creation “Senza Titolo” in Carrara statuary marble.

The inauguration of the exhibition will take place at 7.30 p.m. on 8th. October 2016
