Segmento Per Sidauto

Vaisilisa, art-curator

— In Segmento per Sidauto, Arnaldo Pomodoro explores the vertical dimension as a vessel for memory and transformation. Rising like a column or totem, the sculpture’s surface is alive with intricate reliefs — lines, grids, and recesses that recall ancient inscriptions or fragments of modern architecture. The polished bronze is interrupted by fissures that reveal the sculpture’s layered interior, suggesting both mechanical precision and organic erosion.

This work encapsulates Pomodoro’s lifelong dialogue between inner and outer worlds. The vertical form, seemingly solid and monumental, is pierced by dynamic tension — a metaphor for human history, where progress and decay coexist. Each incision carries the weight of time, as if the artist were excavating the hidden codes of civilization.

Segmento per Sidauto stands as a meditation on continuity and disintegration. Pomodoro transforms bronze into a living surface of energy and remembrance, where the traces of human invention become timeless hieroglyphs — marks of both creation and resistance.
