Black Onyx, Hand-Painted Recycled Fiberglass

Vincenzo de Cotiis’ collection Archaeology of Consciousness reimagines the Renaissance sculptural ideal of the arch. Pieces like DC2323 deconstruct and deform the venerated notion of an arch as a perfectly conceived structure, prioritising a strong sculptural presence above symmetry and balance. The work is made from black onyx and reclaimed fibreglass layered together to expose material variations, with a hand-painted finish imbuing the work with an artificial history and constructing it as a contemporary ruin.
