Alessandro Boezio’s Laboratory of Anatomy Experiments
SHARE THE ARTICLE
Alessandro, could you share a bit about your background and how it has shaped your artistic journey?
My didactic training took place according to the canonical scholastic training paths, therefore first an artistic high school and then an academy of fine arts, but the actual training was developed by frequenting the places where it was made manually, the so-called artisanal manufacturing Italian art.
In Italy we still have places called “Botteghe”, they are laboratories where unique artistic artefacts are created, entirely handmade. They are magical, unconventional places where everything made is different from one another. I worked in a theater tailor’s shop, in a cabinet making workshop, a paper mache religious sculpture workshop, a theatrical and advertising scenography workshop, a ceramic workshop… These experiences increased my initial knowledge and freed me both manually and mentally from creative constraints.
Looking at your sculptures you give the impression of a mad scientist experimenting on the human body. How did the idea of transforming human limbs come about?
A mad scientist does not give birth to ideas but researches and puts together the most unlikely elements in order to arrive at a solution.
I do the same thing in my works with the human body, enlarging, shrinking, multiplying, grafting human limbs with parts of the body, eliminating what I consider superfluous about the body in order to communicate my message.
From the beginning, the most understandable universal language for communicating between men has been the gestural language of the body and hands. A simple language that has fallen into disuse but is still understandable to everyone.
Could you share the symbolism or themes that often appear in your surreal sculptures?
Share with us how the process of creating a sculpture goes from idea to realisation? What materials do you use to bring these sculptures to life?

What message or emotions do you hope to convey through your works?
Can you share any memorable reactions or feedback you've received from audiences regarding your sculptures?
You quote the Bhagavad Gita, you create sculptures with references to the goddess Kali, a series of works called "Meditation and Levitation", so I can assume that Indian philosophy is close to you. What ideas do you find attractive?m audiences regarding your sculptures?
Are there any particular artists who have influenced your work?

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
