Natura Collection

2007-2020

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.
