Alexandru Ranga’s work seeks to reinterpret social typologies through therianthropic sculptures. His artistic universe is populated by animals that take on metaphorical qualities, exploring human life and societal structures. By working in deep connection with materials like steel, stainless steel, brass, and bronze, Alexandru employs techniques like casting and electric arc welding to create intricate, hybrid forms.
The figurative elements in his sculptures evoke narratives that intertwine reality and imagination. Animals like bees, rats, and birds are transformed into symbols, reflecting social behaviors and archetypes. His careful attention to detail, combined with his experimental approach to materials, results in sculptures that are both admirable and provocative. Alexandru’s work challenges viewers to rethink the boundaries between the human and animal worlds, offering new perspectives on social constructs and hybrid identities.
