Futuro Anteriore
Mattia Bosco was born in Milan in 1976 into a family of painters. He lives and works between Milan and the mountains of the Val d’Ossola, in Piedmont, Italy, his own open-air laboratory where he selects and operates with the materials. As a sculptor with a philosophical background, he starts from considering matter as something in which the formal process is already underway. He does not invent new forms, but rather adapts his work to existing conformations, following the geological evolution of the stone and the vegetative seasons of wood. The form, then, naturally emerges from the act of sculpting.
Mattia Bosco uses specific Italian marbles coming from the Tuscan region and the Val d’Ossola in the Alps. This is the case of the marble “palissandro” named after the veined texture which resembles rosewood including significant percentages of iron and quartz. The choice of types of marble in which the natural veins are so evident is crucial for Mattia to make time – the geological time – visible. Sculpture is time materialized and the sculptor has the honor to operate following the pre-existing conformations.
“I make my sculptures in broad sunlight, in the open air, in the warm and in the cold, in the dust. I work with my hands, with my eyes, in an ongoing exercise of attention, in a swift exchange rebounding between what I decide to do and what happens, between impetus and discovery, between courage and prudence. Sculpture is the poetry of bodies”, Mattia Bosco.
