Lion 1

Lion by Davide Rivalta captures a moment of purposeful movement. Cast in bronze at life-size scale, the sculpture shows the lion mid-stride, with its gaze fixed and tail gently lifted, as if navigating its path with calm determination. The textured surface and natural posture highlight Rivalta’s ability to convey physical power and psychological depth.

In harmony with the curatorial theme Echoes of Land, Lion reflects on nature’s integration into the urban landscape. Rather than presenting the lion as a static symbol, Rivalta gives it agency, inviting viewers to consider how wildlife might still move through and lay claim to spaces shaped by human hands. It prompts viewers to consider what is lost and what might be reclaimed when the wild is pushed to the margins.
