Protagonist of a profound renewal of plastic language, for Cragg sculpture is truly “the art of material”, an infinite and incessant creative process of exploration of the world: as he himself states, “reflecting on matter means reflecting on the origin of the world and its evolution “. The exhibition, built around this process of research and artistic elaboration, allows us to approach the artist’s path of investigation – thanks to his graphic work and the re-enactment of his studio – and to a selection of masterpieces that well testify to the wealth of materials he explored.
