Giuseppe Rivadossi Having inherited his interest in art from his father, Clemente, Rivadossi officially began his artistic career in the 1960s, studying furniture and sculpture in wood, plaster, terracotta, and bronze. His creations therefore employ a wide variety of materials, always inspired by humanity, its values, and its way of life. Giuseppe Rivadossi says: Until the 1960s, where I live now, the relationship between man and man, and man and nature, was still based on an ancient ethic. Then came industry, and with it began the plundering. The hope for a less harsh life soon turned into a bitter realization. The new technology, which was supposed to be simply a more refined tool, turned out to be an instrument of frustration and general disintegration. In this situation, I feel an ever-deeper need to express that sense of fundamental unity of existence, as a fundamental idea not to be lost or rediscovered at all costs, every day and in everything. Now these images, these sculptures arise from the depths of my experience like a song, of that hope and that only alternative that lies before us rather than of nostalgia for the past.
