In his artworks Fabrizio Plessi merges modern technology with the simplest materials like wood or stone. He usually works with the four classical elements, occasionally using several of them at once. In the beginning of his career, at the age of 14, he moved to Venice from Emilia, and became “obsessed” with water. Later on, fire (lava) was also given an important role in his art. His works are spectacular, often of large dimensions.
A special feature of the exhibition is an installation titled Liquid Labyrinth, that has never been exhibited before. Another artwork Llaüt Light calls our attention to a current social problem: on Mallorca, which is the artist’s second home, old fishing boats were destroyed for reasons of environment protection. The conflict between sustainable development and tradition is actually present in all domains of human life. Plessi’s work facilitates collective thinking and discussion on issues of nature and society.
