Description by the gallery owner

Large Rhinoceros Luggage is a 55 centimeter high bronze and iron sculpture. It represents a splendid specimen of rhinoceros, crushed by suitcases of different shapes and sizes. Tired and exhausted, he seems almost unable to breathe as if he has reduced his vital force to the minimum necessary to stay alive. Like all Bombardieri animals, the crushed rhinoceros represents man, overwhelmed by goals to achieve, obligations and responsibilities. A physical-emotional load that is impossible to bear. At the same time, there is an environmentalist reference to the brutal practice of hunting rhinos for their horn. Human greed, the cause of the slaughter of rhinos, is the same that drives a capitalist world in which man is overwhelmed by the mass of duties. The rhino is extremely realistic, so much so that it deceives even the most expert eye. The contrast between the vitality of the rhinoceros and the inanimate materiality of the suitcases, which almost look like stones, is very strong and beautiful. The shades of the luggage give them a worn look reminiscent of rags, ropes and leather flaps in Arte Povera style.
