Matteo Mauro Studio presents Bronze in Space, a new sculpture that expands the artists ongoing investigation into material, scale, and sculptural density. Bronze in Space belongs to the new series, Materials In Space, expanding Mauro’s sculptural evolution by introducing a new way to depict his language. This series initiates a special evolution in the artist’s sculptural research, rooted in traditions of metal casting, the series moves beyond conventional material narratives. Transforming metal from his strict structure, into speculative forms that oscillate between geology and cosmology. Materials in Space, seeks to capture matter in a renewed state, appearing alive, yet visually arrested in time.

Mauro uses this series to shift focus from form alone, to the condition of matter itself. Each artwork operates as a fragment suspended between temporalities, the past embedded in the material, and a projected, almost futuristic future. Capturing the material in a state of change, as if the matter is frozen. Bronze in Space draws inspiration from natural formations created during a primordial era, shaped by pressure, eruption, and cooling. Mauro uses bronze to magnify each crevice, exposing the fractures and cavities, blending together into a sculptural landscape. The sculpture scales to a larger version, inviting observers to experience the artwork’s angulations, morphed into a natural formation. Turning a natural object into a piece of permeance, represents a process and picture larger than life itself. Casting the sculpture in bronze speaks to the monumentality, capturing the memory of instability and manipulating it into a enduring form.

The act of casting in bronze becomes central, a gesture that transforms instability into endurance. What once was fluid and volatile is fixed into a lasting form, preserving the memory of transformation itself. The sculpture exists not as an isolated object, but as a fragment of a larger narrative, where material, time, and process converge into a singular, monumental presence.
