Description
EMANUELE RUBINI SCULPTOR - PROPHET
By Ivy Mefalopulos
Bitonto � Visiting Emanuele Rubini�s atelier may give you an extraordinary emotion. In the machine time his way of sculpturing (he only uses mallet and chisels) is free of conventions; the artist attacks marble directly, furiously, as if he is trying to free an entity imprisoned within the shapeless stone block.
Rubini carries out most of his work at night, just like the alchemists from Prague, who tried to turn lead into gold.
While observing his work, we are torn between opposite feelings: on one hand, we feel rejected as if our presence may disturb the artist while he�s immersed in his work; on the other hand, we feel attracted as if part of ourselves immerses itself into the marble creation following the invisible paths drawn by the chisel.
When he sculpts, the artist seems to follow a written itinerary, using the letters of a secret alphabet known only to the artist himself. He seems to tell the epic poem of his personal mythological world in a state of auroral uncertainty, which is very similar to foreseeing.
Emanuele, an artist-prophet? If we consider the titles of his works, we would answer no, since they are almost minimalist and banal: Venere, Bora, La danza, Fiamma, Eva, Ghibli. But if we look at his works, which can be viewed on the web-site www.emanuelerubini.com., we get a different impression. Rubini�s sculptures seem to draw all our anxieties onto themselves untill they become strange and foreign to our eyes. So, they infuse silence and calm into us, as if they were our muses. Muses have always communicated to men from an unknown �afterlife�; and the afterlife from which they speak to us is the shadow in us.
A threat? A meeting with destiny? Or maybe everything the future can reveal is something small compared with the uncertainty of a moment that remains the same and the sculptor wants to reveal.
So, Venere (Venus) as Medea, Fiamma (=flame) as Primeval Energy, Bora as Vital Breath, Danza (=dance) as Dionysian Ritual, Eva (Eve) as Artemis, Ghibli as Pharaoh�s Voice. Emanuele as artist-prophet from the city of dream and thought, which are both �second states�, where you can enter by detaching youself from the external world, trying to reach immortality. Rubini, the artist-prophet, seems to have reached the first step of this immortality.
