Sculpture "The Traveler" series works | Case sharing

【What you see is the work, but what you read is your own heart】

What do you see from the hollowed - out body of the sculpture in the "Traveler" series?

The author of the "Traveler" series, Bruno Catalano, says: "Everyone has lost parts in their life journey. Although the missing parts are not the same, these sculptures represent every person in the world."

Bruno Catalano, a modern French sculpture master. He was born in Morocco in 1960 and went into exile in Marseille, France with his parents at the age of 10. After years of trying different jobs such as a sailor, he turned to sculpture art at the age of 30. The "Traveler" series is his iconic creation. These sculptures are generally composed of incomplete bronze human figures, with the middle part of the figures mostly missing, and the upper part is connected by a hand - held suitcase or handbag. The works give people a feeling of suspension and invisibility, presenting an abstract artistic conception and surreal illusory features. "Incompleteness" is a successful artistic language and an effective means of expression for Bruno. "There is emptiness in solidity" and "there is solidity in emptiness". The missing part of the body endows the audience with infinite imagination. This aesthetic of incompleteness not only attracts attention visually but also touches the heart and strikes the soul.

The "Traveler" series also explores themes such as a sense of belonging, a sense of loss, and global citizenship through its symbolic meaning. It also symbolizes the alienation and loneliness of human beings in the fast - paced modern life.

Bruno Catalano's works are widely popular for their unique style and profound symbolic meaning and are collected by many large - scale enterprises, well - known private and public art collectors in the world. His works have been exhibited in many countries and regions around the world, including France, the UK, China, Belgium, Switzerland, and the US.
