English Text. Poggibonsi, 2013; hardback, pp. 142, b/w and col. Ill. and plates, cm 24.5x28.5. Oliviero Rainaldi leaves much unexplained, painfully unmentioned, as he sculpts and paints figures veiled in mystery. While silent, his delicately sculpted works and vaporous bodies on canvas and paper reveal secrets. Reserve is a treasure rich in allusions to past art and thought. He absorbs and reinterprets these sources in works that subtly express complex states of mind, redirecting inner struggles to the surface of sculptures and paintings. When asked why he is a sculptor, the master replies, 'Because sculpture is the best comment a painter can make on painting.'
