Richard
Aliberti is a multi-media Artist from the Boston
area. He studied at the School of the Museum of Fine
Arts in Boston and the Massachusetts College of Art.
For over 15 years, Aliberti has been creating, exhibiting,
and selling his work throughout the US and abroad. Aliberti
is first and foremost a Sculptor, working primarily
in bronze and stone.
"The
sculpture that I create today is the product of pure
instinct and the manifestation of my spirit, the sculptures
are objects of true spiritual significance in that they
convey a personal yet evocative meaning from a spiritual
source that enables one to experience emotion through
spirit. The sculptures are not made merely to provoke
thought, they are made to provide relief from thought,
they allow a certain aesthetic through a spontaneous
message. The sculptures are an embodiment of influences,
from the antiquities of the Cycladic and Greco Roman
period through the primitive up to the modern minimalists
such as Brancusi, Arp and Naguchi. My goal as an artist
is to create work that exemplifies the purest aesthetic
possible by minimizing shape and overall form to project
beauty in its simplest and purest form."
To
date, Aliberti has completed several large-scale public
monuments including the thirteen-foot tall bronze and
granite sculpture of Dante Alighieri which graces the
entrance to The Alighieri Society in Cambridge, MA.
Other major commissions include a bronze bust of Guglielmo
Marconi and two large-scale bronze reliefs which can
be seen at the Sacred Heart and St. Leonard Churches,
both located in the North End of Boston, a bronze sculpture
of a young John F. Kennedy Jr. for the Everett, MA public
school system.
