Description: Poggibonsi: Carlo Cambi, 2013. 28cm., pbk., 148pp. illus. Summary: Oliviero Rainaldi leaves much unsaid, achingly unspecified, as he sculpts and paints figures veiled in mystery. While mute, his attenuated sculptural figures and vaporous bodies rendered in transparent washes on canvas and paper speak volumes. His restraint and economy of means are nonetheless underpinned by a rich trove of allusions to the art and thought of the past. He absorbs and reconfigures these sources in works that subtly externalize complex states of mind, redirecting interior struggle to the surface of his sculptures and paintings. When you ask Master Rainaldi “Why are you a sculptor?”, he answers “Because sculpture is the best comment that a painter can make on painting”.
