Patinated bronze, electric motor, steel cables;
cm 87x87x13
The work consists of a large man's belt remade in black patinated bronze, the belt is oversized so
that it can hold two people inside it, the work is a tribute to Cy Twombly, during the last period of
his life Twombly sometimes had his assistant support him when he had to paint his large
canvases so that he would be more stable, I found this very personal aspect of the artist's life
extremely significant, the perfect representation of the need to have support from others, the
impossibility of being totally self-sufficient even in seemingly so personal artistic creation. On the
belt, engraved, chases the inscription SOLITUDE IS MULTITUDE in a circular and infinite manner.
