Surreal Symbolic Sculptures

Hopkinton, Massachusetts-based sculptor Michael Alfano creates surreal sculptures that use the human body and face to interpret philosophical concepts. The gifted artist's creations distort the line between figurative and abstract as each piece incorporates components of both to present a thought-provoking structure. Alfano states, "The best art enlists, develops discussion, and brings about change. My art compels viewers to experience, believe, and understand life more fully."
Working mainly in bronze, cold cast copper, and resin, the native New Yorker-turned-New Englander physically comprises convoluted thoughts and phrases in a refreshingly imaginative way. Alfano visualizes human signs and states of contemplation by merging emblems and the human number. A "questioning mind" is suddenly a question assess that is seemingly carved out of a sculpture of a human face. Likewise, an "infinite brain" is an infinity emblem that doubles as an relaxing head.
