In March 2026, Tornabuoni Art Florence inaugurates a solo exhibition of the artist Mario Ceroli, Roman by adoption, spanning the entire arc of his research, from wood to bronze, from myth to the telling of everyday life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wood, a primary and identity-defining material, becomes the vehicle for an idea of sculpture as an original gesture, capable of becoming history and environment. Works such as Gloria eterna ai caduti per la pittura<\/em> (1972) transform memory into an ironic and critical monument, where writing becomes plastic material. The dialogue with painting and art history resurfaces in the shadows of the Bronzi di Riace<\/em> of the 1980s, mythical figures reduced to silhouettes, suspended between the archaic and the contemporary. The Greek portraits translate the heroic face into a new three-dimensionality made of planes, additions, and volumetric tensions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The transition to bronze does not mark a rupture, but an extension of Ceroli\u2019s language toward a more classical monumentality. At the center of the exhibition path emerges Squilibrio<\/em> (1988), a founding idea of Ceroli\u2019s poetics, symbol of an unstable yet vital human condition projected into space. Alongside these timeless presences, Le talebane<\/em> of the early 2000s introduce a powerful reflection on contemporary reality and the condition of women, filtered through imagination and form.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Between humble and noble materials, Ceroli constructs a theater of collective memory. A sculpture that not only represents, but acts in space and in the viewer\u2019s consciousness.<\/p>\n
