“I feel the greatest respect for the millions of years it took to the stone I am forming. Either I follow an inner picture, or a stone is calling me and I try to work out its hidden shape. A stone, polished or rough, should provide joy for the eye and the sense of touch.” the Berlin sculptor Sonja Bojko says.

With Courage, Thematizing Mental Illness

Brunolupo’s artistic interest lies in the plastic confrontation with the human body: the head, and the view inside and outside. He sees man as an inseparable part of nature and addresses relationships, coexistences, un-relationships, and the emptiness and fullness of co-habitation. Brunolupo works often with clay, sometimes to create works of overt social criticism. He transforms clay into figures, landscapes, and minds, a sort of figurative expressionism. His works are ambiguous and subtle, often disturbing, and eternally interesting. Many of his works are reminiscent of porcelain, crystal, or watercolors. Up close, the figures’ bodies are comprised of rugged mountains and vegetation, and each figure is unique in its own handwriting. His ceramic works combine the lightness of watercolor with the seriousness of sculpture. He aggravates the clay to push material to its limits. His white sculptures reflect the light like crystals, but show the fears and worries of our imperfect world. Though superficially nice, they reveal evil political and human truths. The figures are meant to be viewed from eye level. Occasionally, Brunolupo also works in concrete, wood, PET, aluminum, and paint. He has created critical urban landscapes in abstract relief, lightweight concrete and asphalt objects, and consumer garbage pies.
