Looking for balance in New York

New York is the worldwide center of contemporary art. A city that travels fast, suspended between reality and (cinematographic) fiction, full of contradictions and constantly searching for balance.

Balance is at the center of Monica Foglia's work “Anche l’occhio vuole la sua parte” (“the eye also wants its share”): this red resin sculpture, accented with bronze butterflies, blends strength and elegance.

The bold red figure of the sumo wrestler contrasts with the light metallic butterflies, creating a perfect balance between power and beauty.

His body, vibrant and full of strength, strikes perfect harmony with nature’s forces. The breathing of the sumo wrestler is steady and the time is suspended while the butterflies land gently upon him.

The work “Anche l’occhio vuole la sua parte” is exhibited in New York at the Cosulich Interiors gallery and it’s a unique piece, such as unique is the beauty of this eternally moving city, where every day millions of people seek their balance.
