Fabio Viale's "Aeroplane" sculpture 

White marble and steel
(measures 60cm x 40cm x 15cm)

Fabio Viale was born in Cuneo on September 19, 1975. He lives in Turin, where he graduated in 2001 from the Academy of Fine Arts.
Fabio Viale is a complex artist, on the one hand he has a perfect knowledge of sculpting techniques which gives his creations a certain "classic" appeal, but on the other he is a taste for challenge, for surrealistic images, for unconventional dialogue and for reinventing the old in a modern light.
In 2002, after many months of work, Viale launched a boat that was carved from a single block of marble! It was able to carry passengers and was driven by a 3hp motor. This incredible feat has inspired his sculptures using marble.
Among his many exhibitions are: 2002 - Performance "Ahgalla" documentation RAI, Port of Carrara; 2002 - Installation "Ahgalla" Adelinquere Gallery, Turin; 2003 - Performance "Ahgalla" documentation RAI, Murazzi ', Turin; 2003 - "Cards", Abbey Novalese, Chapel of the SS. Sacramento, Susa (TO); 2004 - Personal, Contemporary Art Gallery Placentia, Piacenza.
