Matteo Ingrao

Brussels, Belgium

 

[EN]

Matteo Ingrao is a self-taught sculptor who displays the human skin in all its forms, with a particular interest in alterations and irregularities. He draws inspiration from man’s wild, natural, and primitive origins, how isolation affects form, and musings on alternate human evolution and deformation (hypertrichosis syndrome, for instance, is a recurring theme in his work). His organic and realistic sculptures act to capture specific points in time, encapsulating specific glimpses of the human form and so preserving them in time and space. He provides new perspectives on the human body, aiming to challenge his audience, provoking discourse through the creation of contradictory feelings: his works induce an ambivalent desire to touch while simultaneously stirring discomfort and aversion.

 

[FR]

Sculpteur autodidacte, Matteo Ingrao met en scène l’épiderme humain sous toutes ses formes, en particulier ses altérations et irrégularités. Son inspiration se nourrit de réflexions sur la nature sauvage de l’homme isolé, sur des scénarios alternatifs d’évolution d’individus en marge de l’espèce humaine et les difformités corporelles (telle que l’hypertrichose, récurrente dans ses oeuvres). Ses sculptures organiques et réalistes capturent un moment précis, figeant le corps ou un morceau de corps dans le temps et dans l’espace. Il apporte un nouveau regard sur le corps humain et provoque une situation peu commune mêlant des sentiments opposés: ses créations engagent un désir d’attraction et une volonté de toucher tout en suscitant malaise et aversion.

Hair is a temporal indicator. I created this hairy village, inspired by Shengsi Islands, where nature took over an abandonned fisherman village. As nature thrives again when left untouched, our growing hair points out we are flourishing, growing, and evolving. There is something fascinating in watching our hair grow on our naked bodies, creating unique patterns as ornaments on naked walls. Be proud of your hirsute ornament!
