Sculpture 402
2026
A glazed terracotta figure featuring an anthropomorphic form with a rabbit head and humanoid body, dressed in a green jacket. The sculpture holds a smartphone displaying multiple camera lenses, creating a contemporary commentary on self representation and modern identity. The piece exemplifies provocative ceramic art that merges animal and human characteristics to explore themes of sexuality, freedom, and social taboos. The work stands as a playful yet challenging statement on queer identity and the performance of self in the digital age.

Artists in conversation
Claudio Bravo
Chilean · b. 1936
Bravo shared Spirito's commitment to classical figurative tradition combined with meditative precision and emotional restraint, blending Old Master influence with contemporary sensibility in a way that honors formal discipline while achieving deep psychological resonance.
Odd Nerdrum
Norwegian · b. 1944
Nerdrum similarly bridges classical European painterly heritage with contemporary narrative figuration, creating compositions that carry a strong sense of memory and the human condition rendered through technically rigorous and emotionally charged imagery.
Miquel Barceló
Spanish · b. 1957
Barceló shares Spirito's Mediterranean roots and his practice of weaving landscape, memory, and figurative narrative into works that balance formal precision with expressive emotional weight drawn from a deep engagement with classical Italian and Southern European artistic traditions.
