Artistic traits

Vigliaturo’s artistic journey is one of constant evolution. The never-ending research on colours and forms is symptomatic of a perpetual struggle in favour of the purity of colours and matter’s expressive richness. A journey both gradual and tenacious, that led the artist to confront himself with a great variety of themes with different styles and instruments. Glass, steel, terra cotta and painting – which he never abandoned – are treated like matter, but represent as well an ideological choice, an important connotation of both his human and artistic growth. His glass works, which the artist creates in his bottega in Chieri, represent the conflict between the modernity of the image, the sign, the idea and the antiquity of the medium. Labeled as Homo Faber, his works are first thought, then interpreted and lived through a constant symbiotic relationship between mind and industriosity, consciousness and craftsmanship, creativity and visual poignancy. In 2006, while the city of Turin chose him as the only artistic testimonial for the Winter Olympics, in Acri was inaugurated the MACA – Civic Museum of Contemporary Art Silvio Vigliaturo. In 2008 the artist was named testimonial in the world of the UNICAL, University of Calabria.
