Memorie Alchemiche

2019 - 2024

After having investigated into the mysteries of earth and of the vault of heaven, Alessandro Rametta seeks oneiric images, by exploring the endless possibilities of transmutation. Trusting to dream, letting images that long since live in the deep subconscious, become for the artist an unavoidable means for rebirth.

Fantasy and dreams burst out of unconscious like melted magma through symbols and archetypes, the hand moves along guided by spontaneous emotional forces, so that what is hidden deep down becomes visible. Thought becomes increasingly symbolic, all comes before language and sense, all reveals new aspects of reality that brave any other means of knowledge.

In Memorie Alchemiche the sculpting technique gradually becomes one with meditation: the shiny metal acts as a mirror, a typical means for introspection and for looking at oneself. The oneiric dimension unveils old enigmas and forces apparently contrasting that tend to harmonize when unified. Thus, through sculpture, conscience flies across shadow and light, water and fire, reality and dream to discover itself eventually renewed.

Memorie Celesti

2019 - 2023

Memorie Celesti Collection marks the beginning of two new techniques of Alessandro Rametta: Astroblema and Orogenesi, on stainless steel and a copper and pond alloy, respectively.If the “Natura” collection was focused on the germinative powers of earth, in this series focus is on the secrets of sky, in contemplation of stars with infinite variations of light.

Heavenly bodies interact with the elements of fire, earth, water and air: this connection plays a central role in the artwork imagination process, and guides the hand of sculptor.
Metal is molded by the whole of these forces, retains traces of each of them and changes its look in response to their influence.

The matter and the technique that gives it the shape and beauty that stems from it become a means for meditation, the ideal support to deeply understanding the enigmatic connection between immanence and transcendence.

The play of the dawning of earth is revealed by these sculptures, on which light dances creating a close connection with the beholder. Mankind, thanks to the mediation of objects soaked with the wisdom of mind and deed, can spot and feel again the wonder of origins within itself.

Natura Collection

2016 - 2020

In his youth, Alessandro Rametta moved away from the mess of metropolitan structures and languages, to take refuge in the maternal bosom of nature and to attentively listen to her. He observes the spiral branching of the trees, the architecture of the leaves that gravitate suspended around the stem and the arrangement of petals in the corollas of flowers. From this experience he learns that nature is a master of art. 

At the same time, Alessandro retraces the extraordinary discoveries of those who have tried to understand nature in depth: from the golden section to Fibonacci's theories, from the Aristotelian concept of Physis to the prodigious process of abstraction pursued by Mondrian in the series of Trees. The first in-depth studies of the language of symbols belong to the same period, which from then on have become a peculiar element of Alessandro's work, and which here are intended as a means for dipping into the mystery of the Great Mother. 
Getting through the symbolic dimension and sculptural practice, the artist lives simultaneously his immanence and transcendence, in an osmotic process that reveals him to himself and includes him in the universe, connecting him to the Whole.

The works that form part of Collezione Natura, invite onlookers to make their way towards the "vale of soul-making", as in John Keats' famous letter to his brother, towards a place where it is possible that the planes of reality intersect through macrocosm and microcosm, internal and external, male and female, spirit and matter. This is how the hollow of a trunk or the concavity of a petal can fulfil the function of a womb, an intimate space in which the observer can lose himself to reflect on the mysterious causes of creation.
