The human head — symbol of thought and technique — becomes a Scultura Vestita\, clothed in fabrics and mixed materials\, embodying water\, the primordial element of the Raid. Venice\, a city that has already hosted Bressani’s prestigious exhibitions\, welcomes this new creation with waves and applause. \n \n2023 – “The cup wears the reflections of water”\nFor the 70th anniversary of the Raid\, Bressani returns with a chrome-finished sculpture that captures and reflects sunlight\, like water beneath the propellers. Though dated 2022 — a delay caused by drought — the work carries a message of resilience: art and passion always find a way to surface\, even amid uncertainty. \n \n2024 – “The cup wears the colors of the Italian flag”\nFor the 71st edition\, on Italy’s Republic Day (June 2)\, the Italian Rider’s Head displays the tricolor hues\, set upon a fir-wood base — a symbol of nature\, recycling\, and sustainability.An artistic gesture merging athleticism\, national pride\, and ecological awareness. \n \nThe “Sculture Vestite”: a human epic\nThe Artist Head – Rider’s Head is not merely a prize\, but an intimate portrait of humanity. Bressani’s Sculture Vestite evoke emotions\, memories\, dreams\, and visions through textile fragments\, vibrant colors\, and dynamic geometries.\nThrough these works\, the artist expresses the ordered chaos of competition — that intersection where heart and reason meet.\nThese awards celebrate not only the fastest but also the indomitable spirits who race against time\, fatigue\, and uncertainty. Like the Pavia–Venice Raid itself\, they unite distant worlds: art and engines\, contemplation and adrenaline\, elegance and power. \nConclusion: art that unites\nFrom 2021 to 2024\, Stefano Bressani has transformed the Pavia–Venice Raid into an aesthetic narrative. In every Artist Head\, one perceives the courage to take risks\, to be carried by wind and speed — and by thought. \nBecause\, as Bressani reminds us\, \n true victory is not only about finishing first\, but about leaving an indelible mark. \n\n  \nPlaylist Video URL:https://stefanobressani.com/en/evento/raid-pavia-venice-bressani-crowns-the-winners-with-his-artist-heads/ LOCATION:Venezia\, Italy CATEGORIES:Venice ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://stefanobressani.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2023-RAID-PV-VE-FOTO-B.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190622 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190623 DTSTAMP:20260916T152834 CREATED:20250710T104300Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251016T094531Z UID:5568-1561161600-1561247999@stefanobressani.com SUMMARY:Skultoflower Maliumbas Black Ball in Venice – Art Night 2019 DESCRIPTION:Skultoflower Maliumbas Black Ball: art and memory in Venice for Art Night 2019\nA black flower that speaks of the future\nOn June 22\, 2019\, during Art Night Venezia\, the Arsenale pulsed with a visionary energy — an art capable of merging past and future\, protest and poetry. In the heart of \nSpazio Thetis\, an international hub of contemporary art\, Italian artist Stefano Bressani unveiled his monumental work Skultoflower Maliumbas© Black Ball\, in a performance destined to leave a lasting mark on collective memory. \nThe evening was part of the group exhibition FRIENDS – Artists\, curators & gallerists\, which accompanied the 58th Venice Art Biennale and the opening of the Venice Boat Show. A diverse and international audience was guided through an immersive experience of art\, industrial memory\, ecological reflection\, and theatricality. \n \nA poetic sculpture between protest and beauty\nBressani’s work\, part of his Skultoflower series\, unites strength and fragility: a black flower\, wrapped in synthetic fabrics derived from petroleum\, rising from a structure that evokes the industrial past of the Arsenale. \nAt its core\, the Black Ball embodies a symbolic short circuit — beauty contaminated\, nature wounded\, yet still capable of redemption through art. Made of synthetic fiber\, the sculpture denounces with grace the consequences of consumerism\, transforming the very material of pollution into an aesthetic and ethical gesture. \n\n  \n\nA collective ritual of word\, light\, and memory\nThe Piazzale Beverly Pepper became the stage for a ritual performance in which laser lights\, vapor\, and virtual sparks evoked the craft of Venetian blacksmiths\, restoring dignity and poetry to the space. The performance featured the voice of Stefania Rusconi\, reciting verses by Giulia Birolini\, creating a vibrant dialogue between word and matter. \nCurator Robert C. Phillips and Antonietta Grandesso\, cultural director of Spazio Thetis\, emphasized the work’s power as an act of shared memory and poetic resistance. \nA work that continues to question\nToday\, Skultoflower Maliumbas© Black Ball lives in the gardens of Spazio Thetis: a monumental\, silent flower that continues to speak to those who look at it. It does not merely decorate — it questions\, transforms\, resists. And it tells\, without words\, of a beauty born even from pain. \n  URL:https://stefanobressani.com/en/evento/skultoflower-maliumbas-black-ball-in-venice-art-night-2019/ LOCATION:Spazio Thetis\, Calle Donà\, 2737/f\, 30122 Venezia VE\, Venezia\, Italy CATEGORIES:Venice ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://stefanobressani.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2019-VENEZIA-THETIS-VENICE-ART-NIGHT-BRESSANI-FOTO-B.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190510 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190511 DTSTAMP:20260916T152834 CREATED:20250714T081511Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251014T075851Z UID:5574-1557446400-1557532799@stefanobressani.com SUMMARY:Exhibition FRIENDS at Spazio Thetis\, Venice DESCRIPTION:Exhibition FRIENDS at Spazio Thetis – Arsenale di Venezia\nIn the heart of Venice’s historic Arsenale\, Spazio Thetis inaugurated a new artistic season with FRIENDS\, a group exhibition dedicated to encounter\, sharing\, and creative dialogue. The show brought together Spazio Thetis’s long-standing collaborators — artists\, curators\, and gallerists who have contributed to the growth of this international cultural hub. \n \nA garden of ideas in the northern Arsenale\nThe works were displayed in the evocative gardens of the northern Arsenale\, near the Biennale Gardens. The participating artists created a free and multifaceted narrative\, in conversation with the permanent collection of Spazio Thetis\, which includes Il Terzo Paradiso by Michelangelo Pistoletto\, Le Sentinelle by Beverly Pepper\, and L’uomo che misura le nuvole by Jan Fabre. \nArt\, science\, and the future at Spazio Thetis\nSpazio Thetis was born within a center for environmental innovation\, where art and science intersect in a dialogue between disciplines. The FRIENDS exhibition embodies this dynamic and sustainable vision of art\, offering a renewed perspective on creativity\, enterprise\, and culture. \nStefano Bressani and the Skultoflower Maliumbas© Ball\nAmong the protagonists was Stefano Bressani\, the “Tailor of Art\,” with his Skultoflower Maliumbas© Ball. Created in corten steel and recycled fabrics\, the work reflects the tension between nature and artifice\, perfectly embodying the spirit of the place. \nThe FRIENDS exhibition at Spazio Thetis was open from April 17 to the end of November 2019 — a unique opportunity to rediscover Venice through contemporary art and the power of creative friendship. \n  URL:https://stefanobressani.com/en/evento/exhibition-friends-at-spazio-thetis-venice/ LOCATION:Spazio Thetis\, Calle Donà\, 2737/f\, 30122 Venezia VE\, Venezia\, Italy CATEGORIES:Venice ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://stefanobressani.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/MAIN-20.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20170901T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20171001T170000 DTSTAMP:20260916T152834 CREATED:20250710T092008Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251014T085004Z UID:5586-1504252800-1506877200@stefanobressani.com SUMMARY:Stefano Bressani at OPEN20 Venice: between sculpture and contemporary reflection DESCRIPTION:Stefano Bressani OPEN20 Venice\nStefano Bressani OPEN20 Venice marks a biennium of intense creative activity and international recognition.\nBetween 2016 and 2017\, the artist strengthened his presence in the contemporary art scene\, presenting visionary works in venues such as Molino Stucky\, the Arsenale\, and the Hotel Excelsior during the Venice Film Festival. \nPicasso Re-loaded: a dialogue with Cubism\nWith Picasso Re-loaded\, Bressani reinterprets the Cubist legacy through his personal lens — not merely as homage\, but as a critical dialogue with the visual language of the 20th century. His sculptures reconstruct and deconstruct the human figure\, inviting reflection on art as an interpretation of reality. \n \nSkultoflower and the Arte Laguna Prize\nThe Skultoflower series\, awarded the OPEN19 – Arte Laguna Special Prize\, explores the connection between art and nature. The work symbolizes rebirth — blooming as transformation.\nPresented at Molino Stucky and the Arsenale\, the piece conveys an ecological message through form and color. \nKaotika – Without Time: time and visual chaos\nAt OPEN20 Venice\, Bressani presented Kaotika – Without Time\, an installation exhibited at the Hotel Excelsior. Serial figures in motion embody the disconnection of the present. The black and white tones recall classic cinema\, while the visual rhythm mirrors the disorientation of the contemporary individual. Displayed alongside artists such as Yoko Ono\, the work reaffirms the relevance of Bressani’s research. \nA scenography of contemporaneity\nAccording to curator Serena Mormino\, Kaotika is a “scenography of contemporaneity.” White becomes a symbol of identity loss and impersonal communication. The artwork denounces digital solitude and the erosion of meaning — yet also opens the door to individual renewal. \nRead critical essay \nArt as possibility\nDespite its apparent chromatic lightness\, Bressani’s art is rich in critical depth. His language merges tradition and innovation\, leading to a journey of awareness. Aesthetics become a tool to question the human condition in the age of speed and post-truth. \nToward new projects\nWith OPEN20 Venice\, Stefano Bressani reaffirms the coherence of his artistic vision. His works raise questions about time and identity\, opening spaces for shared reflection. Amid new exhibitions and international collaborations\, the artist continues to engage the public through images\, installations\, and digital dialogue.

The 2016 edition transformed Venice into an open-air museum\, where art meets everyday life\, engaging both passersby and the urban landscape. \nThe installations\, scattered among calli\, fondamenta\, and lagoon views\, disrupt visual continuity and generate aesthetic short circuits that provoke reflection and wonder. OPEN 19 is much more than an exhibition: it is an immersive experience where the viewer becomes an active part of the work. \n\nSkultoflower: the “dressed” sculpture by Bressani as a highlight in Venice\nAmong the exhibiting artists stands Stefano Bressani\, master of Italian contemporary art\, with his monumental Skultoflower\, strategically positioned at the entrance of the Hilton Molino Stucky. After the success of Maliumbas Nature Sound at Casa Milan\, Bressani brought to Venice a sculpture that perfectly synthesizes his poetic and material language. \nStanding over three meters tall\, Skultoflower rises from a corten steel stem — a symbol of transformation over time. From this metallic structure blooms a cube covered with Maliumbas texture\, a hallmark of Bressani’s stylistic identity. The work fuses strength and delicacy\, geometry and nature\, industry and poetry. \nA symbol of resilience and sustainability\nThe sculpture is made from recycled materials\, in line with the artist’s ethical approach. The contrast between oxidizing metal and the visual lightness of fabric transforms the piece into a living organism\, able to communicate with its viewers. A symbol of coexistence between the ephemeral and the enduring\, the soft and the solid\, humankind and time. \nThe curatorship is by Serena Mormino\, art critic and president of the cultural association Amarte\, who accompanies Bressani in this edition. “His works combine different suggestions\,” she notes\, “merging into a unique language\, suspended between Dolce Vita\, Pop Art\, and the future.” \nRead the critical essay \nWithin the context of OPEN 19\, Skultoflower becomes the ambassador of a new Italian sculpture that unites craftsmanship and innovation\, tradition and experimentation\, transforming matter into vision. \nAn art to be lived\, not just observed\nWith this installation\, Stefano Bressani confirms his ability to create works that go beyond mere admiration — pieces that engage and interact. His Scultura Vestita invites the audience to a sensory and emotional experience where art becomes part of everyday life.

Hosted in the evocative space of the former Church of Santa Marta\, the exhibition offered an immersive journey into the history of the British band\, with photographs\, videos\, memorabilia\, and artistic installations. \nBressani’s works in dialogue with the Pink Floyd\nAmong the protagonists of Night of Wonders Venice was Italian artist Stefano Bressani\, known for creating Sculture Vestite. On this occasion\, Bressani presented two works inspired by iconic Pink Floyd albums: The Division Bell and The Wall. \n“Steel Faces”: light and fabric reinterpret The Division Bell\nThe installation Steel Faces\, inspired by the album The Division Bell\, reimagines the famous metallic heads designed by Storm Thorgerson using textile techniques. The sculptures\, measuring 240×180 cm\, interact with the natural light of the church\, creating chiaroscuro effects that enhance the soft colors and three-dimensional forms of the work. \n\n \n\n“What shall we do now?”: a reflective tribute to The Wall\nThe second work\, What shall we do now?\, draws inspiration from The Wall\, the concept album exploring themes of isolation and inner conflict. Bressani pays homage to Gerald Scarfe’s original drawings\, reinterpreting them with his sculptural technique to invite personal and contemporary reflection. \nAn exhibition of art\, music\, and memory\nCurated by the association Floydseum\, Night of Wonders Venice was much more than an exhibition: it was a multisensory journey that recreated the atmosphere of the Venetian concert on July 15\, 1989. Featuring previously unseen materials\, fan testimonies\, and artworks\, the exhibition highlighted the Pink Floyd’s impact on visual and musical culture. \nAlongside Bressani\, artists like Marco Lodola contributed with light installations inspired by The Wall\, creating a powerful and emotional visual dialogue. \nArt as a bridge between music and vision\nStefano Bressani’s participation underscored the role of art in giving new form to collective memory. His Sculture Vestite translate the Pink Floyd’s sound universe into visual material\, bringing depth and meaning to timeless musical icons.
