3 Transmission mural - Alberto Ruce

On the first wall, on the left, a young woman appears to be listening to the sounds of the sea inside a scallop shell. The right-hand wall focuses on detail: the hand holding the shell is older than the young woman's face.<br/>The artist signs a metaphor for our cultural heritage, and recounts what the Camino de Compostela evokes for him. It is a story of transmission between generations. The two women, symbolic of two eras, are linked by a common history and temporality, that of the road.

Born in Sicily in 1988, Alberto Ruce lives in Marseille and works between France and Italy, both in situ and in his studio. His pictorial universe is dreamlike.
Transparency, tone-on-tone and evanescent subjects characterize his works. They explore human sensory perception and our relationship with nature. He pays particular attention to the history of the places he invests. His gestures blend into the supports that welcome them, so much so that the viewer may pass by without seeing them at first glance.
