The Sculptor MAURO CORDA, of Sardinian origin and born in Lourdes in 1960, has followed sculpture courses at the School of Fine Arts of Reims and then the School of Fine Arts of Paris before obtaining a scholarship to pursue his apprenticeship at the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid. He is an heir of the great tradition of classical sculpture, claiming his affiliation to some great masters whilst also considering that art must question our modern societies. His works constantly reflect on the subjects of difference and exclusion who wrong us in our perception of “normality”. This committed artwork is both attached to the sensations and feelings one has for the shape, it might be a human or animal one, an aspect where he marvels in the finesse, but also to those of the viewers that are in front of them. “Hustle our usual perspectives, interrogate our certainties, question the apparently unchanging ways in our relations to others, to animality, to the wilderness” press release of the exhibition “Zoospective”Besançon citadel, 2018.
