Giovanni GelmiQuatuor de poupées en acier

By Lucien Rama, art critic, excerpts from "Calligraphy of Space" This Belgian plastic artist, of Italian origin, has always been called by metal. It becomes in his hands a signature, a true moment of eternity. I am directly seduced by the elegance of his universe, a feeling of lightness, natural lines emerge from it. The strength they contain is always based on recurring themes that evoke the link between earth and sky: flight, knots, verticality, union, dance or openness. It is a thorough knowledge of the profession that will occupy a fundamental place in this work made of lightness on the one hand and poetry and technicality on the other. The public cannot resist this particular brand that makes him a "verticalist" calligrapher recognizable at first glance. There is no doubt, this "cosmic" work leads to immediate adherence because it defies the laws of balance.
