Bridging Eras: Stone Sculpture in a Contemporary Practice
For Salvatore Zagami, the journey of creating art has always been about balancing the old with the new. While much of his work embraces experimental techniques and modern materials, stone sculpture art remains a deeply personal and foundational part of his practice. It represents not only a connection to history, but also a discipline that shaped his early understanding of space, structure, and aesthetics.
Stone, the oldest known sculptural medium, stands in contrast to Zagami’s more industrial and chemical-based approaches. And yet, it continues to influence his thinking and inspire new directions. This return to stone is both a nod to tradition and a reaffirmation of timeless craftsmanship.
Zagami has recently re-engaged with stone carving, both as a medium of expression and as a way to share knowledge through hands-on workshops.
A Dialogue Between Past and Present
Revisiting Ancient Methods Through a Modern Lens
Zagami’s stone sculpture art reflects a meaningful exchange between ancient sculptural traditions and contemporary thought. While much of his practice embraces modern materials like polymers and metal, stone remains a medium through which he reconnects with the foundational values of art—endurance, physicality, and timeless form. For him, working with stone is not about nostalgia but about reactivating history in a relevant, tactile way. Through this convergence, Zagami’s stone sculptures for purchase carry both a sense of age and immediacy—anchored in time but speaking to the present.
- Merges traditional craftsmanship with modern concepts
- Brings new meaning to one of the oldest art forms
- Uses tactile process to spark emotional and visual impact
- Balances legacy and innovation in each stone sculpture
Stone as a Foundation for Spatial and Aesthetic Understanding
Sculptural Discipline That Shaped a Lifelong Practice
Before exploring contemporary metal sculptures and chemical mediums, Zagami spent years working with stone. The physical resistance of this material demanded from him a deep awareness of proportion, weight, and negative space—principles that continue to shape his work today. His early experience with stone instilled a sculptural logic that underlies even his most experimental series. Though he now works across many media, stone sculpture art remains the foundation of his spatial sensibility and aesthetic restraint.
- Stone carving developed Zagami’s sensitivity to form and spatial relationships
- The medium’s physical constraints fostered early artistic discipline and precision
- This traditional practice influences his contemporary, experimental artworks
- Stone acts as a grounding element in an otherwise innovative creative process
Return to Roots: Stone as Medium and Pedagogy
Teaching the Next Generation Through Stone
After decades of working across new media, Zagami has returned to stone both as a personal practice and a form of teaching. His current work includes stone carving workshops in the USA and structured stone carving classes, where he shares not only the techniques of stone work but the philosophy behind it. For Zagami, teaching is an extension of the sculptural process—shaping not just form, but minds. His students are exposed to the historical lineage of the medium while being encouraged to develop their own contemporary interpretations.
