ANTIMO BERTOLINO - CONCEPT by Anna Radaelli In the works of Antimo Bertolino, the conscious and impeccable technique in the carved wooden panels, painted with acrylic colours, is the result of a self-taught path that sees the work of restorer coexist with that of the artist, reuniting contemporary artistic production with that of great workshops of the past. Antimo has had several masters from diverse artistic fields; the result is a cross contamination certainly attributable to Art Nouveau, learned through the techniques of the goldsmith and antique furniture restoration, as well as by more modern artistic movements: Spatialism, Op Art and Minimalism, that are all present in the artist's sculptures. At first glance, the works appear as paintings, given their creation on wooden panels; however in taking the time to observe the carved waves inside them, they reveal new paths to the observer. Starting from the physical experience, transmitted by the visual sense, the mind calms down and with it any attempt to conceptualise the work. We let ourselves be carried away by the sensual enjoyment given by the movement of the monochrome colour, made alive and iridescent by the carvings that refract the light and by the interior space that suddenly finds itself aligned and part of the exterior. The work is therefore a mirror that amplifies and reverberates the physical and mental world of those who observe the fractals, the waves, the lights and the colours that turn from two-dimensional objects into real sculptures; within them there is not only the third dimension (depth) but also the fourth (time) and the other dimension, namely that of the observer, protagonist together with the work, in their own perceptible and the perceived world.

Founded in Zurich 1904, the Zürcher Brockenhaus is still committed to social and environmentally friendly ethics to this day. That seems more important than ever: two world wars, the development of prosperity in the 1950s, the oil crisis in the 1970s and the collapse in prices in recent decades have led to a thoughtless use of resources and goods. Our carpentry workshop restores, paints, dyes and also creates furniture in small series. We have our own upholstery studio here in-house. Our selection is large and unique. In our store you will find: - furniture- lamps- clothes- books and everything else your heart desires.
