Paolo Castagna (Brutalist Design)

Paolo Castagna is a contemporary Italian sculptor known for his work in the Brutalist style. His creations embody the essence of Brutalism, where beauty is found in imperfection and the raw strength of materials. Castagna's sculptures are characterized by their unadorned concreteness, showcasing exposed building materials and structural elements without decorative embellishments.

Working primarily with concrete, Castagna carefully selects this robust material for its essential nature. His approach to sculpture is free from formal mediation, allowing the rawness of the concrete to speak for itself. The sculptures he creates are not just objects but stories etched into solid form. Every crack, every mark left by the manual manufacturing process, adds depth and meaning to his work, much like the wrinkles on a person's face tell a life story.

Castagna's pieces often feature concrete blocks in unlikely shapes, supporting and emanating light. The proportions are intentionally non-harmonious, drawing attention through their hardness and primitiveness. The distinctive feature of his work lies in its flaws—these imperfections make each sculpture unique and precious. Each piece carries its own "identity card," certifying its singularity and originality, making Castagna's Brutalist sculptures not just art but narratives in concrete form.
