NSS Community :: Sculptor Profile :: Aldo Casanova: "An evolutionary tale unfolds in the sculpture of Aldo Casanova. The familiar and unfamiliar merge in his weighty bronzes sparking a dialogue about each piece's history and place in the world. Skulls, scarabs and relics populate Casanova's portfolio, as do armored rhinos, warriors and earth forms. At first glance, the subjects seem representative of life matter existent today, but, upon closer inspection, one can see that the mantles have been slightly manipulated to challenge those preconceived notions. The figures appear to be the genetically mutated cousins of their more commonly known relatives; their surfaces, hides and bones have adapted to the challenges of the new millennium. Gazing at a Casanova sculpture is like peering in on an archeological dig and at once witnessing our past, present and future. "
