In the spring of 2015 Amalart brings Aldo Flecchia's sculptures to the Domus Aurea, a high-end furniture showroom in Shanghai. This is not an exhibition lasting a few weeks: the works remain in the spaces of the Domus Aurea for ten years, until 2025, alongside the furniture, lighting and interiors that the showroom presents to its clients.
Aldo Flecchia was born in Biella in 1945. He works marble, stone and granite, the hardest materials, and for him sculpting is toil and struggle: the weight of the material, the risk of every blow, the design that must become form. He does not sculpt stones but passions, love, brotherhood, even hatred, and seeks to give them a duration that goes beyond time. In his figures sensuality is evident, but it always tends towards the most spiritual moments of love, those in which life forcefully asserts its own rights.
Alongside Aldo's sculptures, the Domus Aurea also hosts works by Lorenzo Sala, Guido Mori Ubaldini, Scilla Felici, Gino Tonello and Damms. It is the model Amalart had tested in Muscat and at the Zendai: art inside the spaces where people live and design, not only in galleries. Ten years later, in 2026, Aldo will return to China to sculpt a work and donate it to the city of Haikou.
