Arcangelo Sassolino's work captures a suspended instant: just before collapse, just after ignition.
At the 2022 Venice Biennale, Sassolino paid homage to Caravaggio's Beheading of Saint John the Baptist. But where Caravaggio painted light and shadow, Sassolino sculpts with fire and steel: molten light heated to 1500 degrees, falling from above into dark pools of water.
In his latest exhibition at MONA, In the End, The Beginning, materials are pushed to their edge and sometimes beyond.
