Giulio Ciampi, Sistine Chapel, hood, steel on sheet metal, 90x131 cm, 2007

Unique work made on the hood of a car.

In this case Ciampi realizes a tribute to the famous Creation of Adam, realized in 1511 by Michelangelo Buonarroti inside the Sisitina Chapel. 

A very original reinterpretation for the use of unconventional materials.

The playful accent and the desire to experiment here are evident, they are the constructive traits of a creative process that is always alive.

The hoods are a further development of Ciampi's much-loved use of materials. Steel does not necessarily have to be smooth and laminated, but it can be grazzo or even a whole object, which acts as a canvas, a sort of new ready-made. Even the fingers that you touch are old pincers, which acquire another meaning here.

The work is signed on the back by the artist.
