Alessandro Teoldi 亚历山德罗·泰尔迪, Hug 拥抱, 2023

Alessandro Teoldi’s "Hug" (2023) is a bronze relief sculpture that depicts two figures embracing in a moment of quiet intimacy. The minimalist lines and delicate engraving emphasize the tenderness of the gesture, evoking warmth, comfort, and connection. The flattened, almost ethereal representation of the bodies enhances the sense of emotional depth, making the piece both intimate and universal.

Alessandro Teoldi, born in 1987 in Milan, Italy, is currently based in New York. He earned his MFA in Photographic Studies from ICP-Bard College in 2013 and a BFA in Photography from IED - Istituto Europeo di Design in 2009. Teoldi’s multidisciplinary practice includes textiles, sculpture, drawing, and installation, exploring themes of connection, memory, intimacy, and queer desire. He often repurposes materials like airline blankets, stones, and cement, transforming them into new narratives that engage with their histories. His work has been showcased in various exhibitions, such as “Dopo la pioggia” at Marinaro in New York (2025), “Dipinti” at Capsule Venice in Italy (2024), “Looking Back” at Capsule Shanghai in China (2023), Ceramics Museum of Savona in Italy (2024), the Flag Art Foundation in New York (2021) and Magazzino Italian Art in New York (2020).
