Andrea Noviello’s practice begins from the real — most often a natural element — and works on it, shaping and exalting it to open new margins of interpretation. His sculptures, frequently cast in bronze and at times silver-plated, often originate from the act of sealing the cavities of an animal or human body, producing forms in which the memory of what the work was before becomes embedded in the imperfections of the cast itself. The figure is never invented but always captured: the gesture of closing — of pushing the form inwards — generates objects that hover between archaeology and projection, between fossilisation and the genesis of something new. Recent work has extended into the rehabilitation of historical artefacts, with eighteenth-century sculptures redirected into the contemporary as material for present and future use.

His work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions at GiorgioGalotti in Milan, Federica Schiavo Gallery in Milan, Palazzo Chiaramonte (DAMA Project) and within independent project spaces in Italy. He lives and works in Milan.
