Lime wood sculpture
Dimensions: cm 63 x 39 x 45
A "historical" work by Maestro Giuseppe Rivadossi with a truly great aesthetic-emotional impact where the shape of the object is underlined and marked by a series of subtle incisions.
"Capanno" is part of the research and production that Maestro Giuseppe Rivadossi developed in the 70s, a period in which he dedicated himself to the creation of ideal "containers" and "cases" designed to welcome, defend, and preserve man and therefore the human race.
In addition to the idea, the form of this work is particularly careful and clearly alludes to what it was intended to contain.
Seen from the side, it looks like a human figure curled up reading, or perhaps praying.

Giuseppe Rivadossi
Mirodi, having inherited his interest in art from his father Clemente, Rivadossi officially began his artistic career in the sixties, approaching the study of furniture and sculpture in wood, plaster, terracotta and bronze.
There are therefore many materials used in his creations, always inspired by man, by his values, and his "life."
Giuseppe Rivadossi says:
I have seen woodworking since I was a child.
Until the '60s, where I now live, the relationship between man himself, nature with man, was still based on an ancient ethic.
Then industry arrived and with it the looting began.
The hope of a less hard life soon turned into a bitter realization.
The new technology, which was only supposed to be a more perfected tool, revealed itself as an instrument of frustration and general disintegration.
In this situation, I feel more and more deeply the need to express that sense of underlying unity of existence, as a basic idea not to be lost or rediscovered at all costs every day and in everything.
Now these images, these sculptures and this furniture arise from the depths of my experience as a song, of that hope and of that one alternative that lies before us more than nostalgia for the past.
