“I don't sculpt materials; rather I use materials to sculpt light”
Through a highly skilled intervention on steel in which perfectly flat, seamless planes become suddenly distorted and disturbed, Xhixha is in fact creating a visual commentary on the interplay between steel and light, between the physical and the intangible; whilst simultaneously touching on powerful philosophical concepts.
Over the course of the artist’s career, Xhixha has developed an iconic style of sculpting through which he manipulates mirror-polished stainless steel into abstract sculptures of immense grandeur and beauty. Xhixha has secured his position amongst the top echelons of the art world, making his work some of the most instantly recognizable sculptures today.
