His sculptures reconstruct and deconstruct the human figure, inviting reflection on art as an interpretation of reality.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3156\" src=\"https:\/\/stefanobressani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2017-OPEN20-VENEZIA-LOCANDINA-228x300.jpg\" alt=\"Stefano Bressani OPEN20 Venice\" width=\"258\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stefanobressani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2017-OPEN20-VENEZIA-LOCANDINA-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/stefanobressani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2017-OPEN20-VENEZIA-LOCANDINA-175x230.jpg 175w, https:\/\/stefanobressani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2017-OPEN20-VENEZIA-LOCANDINA-536x705.jpg 536w, https:\/\/stefanobressani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2017-OPEN20-VENEZIA-LOCANDINA.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Skultoflower and the Arte Laguna Prize<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Skultoflower<\/strong> series, <em>awarded the OPEN19<\/em> \u2013 Arte Laguna Special Prize, explores the connection between art and nature. The work symbolizes rebirth \u2014 blooming as transformation.<br \/>\nPresented at Molino Stucky and the Arsenale, the piece conveys an ecological message through form and color.<\/p>\n<h3>Kaotika \u2013 Without Time: time and visual chaos<\/h3>\n<p>At <strong>OPEN20 Venice<\/strong>, Bressani presented <strong>Kaotika \u2013 Without Time<\/strong>, 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\u2019s research.<\/p>\n<h2>A scenography of contemporaneity<\/h2>\n<p>According to curator<strong> Serena Mormino<\/strong>, <em>Kaotika<\/em> is a \u201cscenography of contemporaneity.\u201d White becomes a symbol of identity loss and impersonal communication. The artwork denounces digital solitude and the erosion of meaning \u2014 yet also opens the door to individual renewal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stefanobressani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Open-20-Venezia.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read critical essay<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Art as possibility<\/h3>\n<p>Despite its apparent chromatic lightness, Bressani\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<h3>Toward new projects<\/h3>\n<p>With <strong>OPEN20 Venice<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stefano Bressani OPEN20 Venice Stefano Bressani OPEN20 Venice marks a biennium of intense creative activity and international recognition.
