Skate, Angelo Accardi

“Skate” by Angelo Accardi is a captivating mixed-media sculpture belonging to the "Misplaced" Collection. At the heart of this artwork lies a remarkable rhino sculpture, meticulously constructed from a diverse selection of metal pieces. The intricate detailing and craftsmanship used to create the rhino make it a striking focal point of the work. Adding a touch of whimsy and playfulness to the composition, Accardi places a Minion figure atop the rhino, creating the illusion that the Minion is "skating" on the rhino's back. This unexpected juxtaposition of a beloved pop culture character with a powerful and majestic animal sculpture infuses the artwork with a sense of humor and imagination. "Skate" not only showcases Accardi's skill in blending various artistic elements but also invites viewers to engage with the artwork on multiple levels, from appreciating its craftsmanship to finding delight in its creative storytelling.
