Surreal sculptures that challenge the border between human and animal

Italian artist Alessandro Gallo has attracted a lot of attention for his unique sculptures that combine human and animal features. These works are not only considered as a form of artistic expression, but also provide an interpretation of nature and human behavior. Gallo usually depicts these composite creatures in everyday situations; This gives his works an understandable and thought-provoking aspect. He creates his works with great care and often uses photographs of models and images of wildlife as sources of reference.

Adorned with clothing and other human features, the final sculptures invite the viewer to contemplate themes such as alienation, boredom, and loneliness. Gallo’s art challenges the boundary between the human and animal realms and explores the psychological aspects of human existence through these surreal and thoughtful compositions.

In explaining his work, he says:

My works include hybrid human-animal creatures in various forms, including pottery. Animals exhibit biological characteristics and behavioral patterns that can be metaphorically extended to humans. These traits show the basic nature of a person’s personality in a humorous way.
