Description

In this astonishing sculpture, Filippo Pietro Castrovinci reinterprets Spider-Man through a resolutely contemporary approach, using Corten steel as a medium of expression. Created by superimposing cut metal layers , the work forms a stylized silhouette of the head of the famous superhero, immediately recognizable by its dynamic and taut structure.

The choice of Corten steel—a raw material that develops a patina over time—reinforces the idea of a hero anchored in reality , shaped by the layers of his history, his struggles, and his human duality. The sliced construction evokes a three-dimensional scan or a digital model stopped in its tracks, frozen in a post-industrial aesthetic .

The piece dialogues between strength and fragility , matter and emptiness , mask and identity , offering a reading on several levels: Spider-Man becomes a symbol of resilience , but also of fragmentation - as if his figure itself were deconstructed by the weight of the modern world.
