Oliviero Rainaldi’s artistic trajectory is at the same time a spiritual pathway. Theartist has always had a great interest in the reinterpretation of traditional religiousiconography in a new formal light. In order to examine the relationship betweenart and liturgy in depth, he enrolled in various courses of theology and undertookthorough study of the Bible and Christian literature. The reading of Genesiswas a stimulus for reflection and creation for the artist, who worked for sixyears, until 1999, on a series of sculptures devoted to the stories of original sin, theflood and the repentant and redeemed figures found there.In the work from the series exhibited here, a finely stylized figure with a bowed head,stark and smooth, devoid of physiognomic connotations, exemplifies the feelings ofrepentance peculiar to the fallen. (Transl. by Paul Metcalfe per Scriptum, Roma)
