Giovanni M. Cabras. Variant body

From June 20 to September 6, 2014, the Space Don Chischiotte of Fondazione Bottari Lattes hosts the staff of John M. Cabras, entitled Variant Body.
The exhibition presents a dozen sculptures, many of which have never been shown so far, the Sardinian origin (Orosei, NU, 1943), but living in Turin.
Eclectic personality - poet and physician by profession - Cabras approaches to sculpture in the seventies under the leadership of Peter Lorenzoni.
His personal expressive research, far from memberships and poetic schools and movements, it is always compared with the potential of "creative" materials used: the horizon of the work is that of a "body" in the making, which to a variable measures the organic and the inorganic, the intention and neglect.
In the works presented at Spazio Don Quixote, Cabras search hybridization and a comparison between wood and metal; his works are characterized by circular shapes, ovoid, elliptical trainers are perfect fulfillment in the encounter between the softer curves of the wood, with the severe lines of the metal.
The plastic Cabras are also distinguished by the presence of ruptures and empty, as if "they warn - writes Dario Capello - the idea that something must always fail because there is what counts. This vacuum is untouchable endless suspense. Separate images from their plot and closer to the thought. "
