Forms have their language, whose roots sink in the long and involved evolution of the artist having reached his perfection.

Perfection which is every time excelled and thrown in again, and which never invests the technical approach that forces the artist to get planes, lines, curves from the stone block expressing the maker talent of the rhytm.

The artist - underlines the philosopher Raymund Bayer - becomes owner of the rhythm, i.e. of the time, a proceeding which allows him to own the essential.

Franco Dotti's art resumes his subject through the chief vocation of the sculptor. As a matter of fact, the vocation lies in a deep interest in the undertaken matter, an interest increased by the feeling for the action satisfaction. Now, as any artist vibrates in synchrony with his own nature, it is in carrying on the creation that you will find his style and authenticity.

In Dotti, it appears that the constructive rhythm, either circular or linear, but always with a strictly joined will, fixes an evocative dynamism through the stages of a singular awarness.

Does art hold time anticipating its movement?

This is the question to which Dotti's art tries to answer in a plastic context.

The research of a general unity from forms which keep their own autonomy, is a kind of submission to the time and involves a steady regeneration, a instant succession that develops in the persistence of rhythms unceasingly retaken and re-invented.

The artistic value of an art work is valued less by what connects it to the past or to a privileged age, than by his relationship with the plastic art lasting values.

The Dotti's work includes the evidence of an acting strength, a strenght that has to rediscover the sculptor laws in unprecedented realizations, which, of course, have to be inscribed in the age borders.

Actually, art is the most suitable way to value the civilization level of an epoch where story will definite its value through the evidences. Now, this value requires a constancy in the discoveries necessary to the art survival. Dotti is certainly not as those who are driven by an accidental desire or by a transitory curiosity towards an attempt without tomorrow, even if their number is so plentiful that what we called “avant-guarde” has now become a confused crowd.

Dotti, together with some artists of his generation, involves all his life in his art.

He extends perpetually his universe inquiry, which he likes best both with the thought and the representation. He is the maker of solid works, well-balanced in the littlest details, which witness a regained time in the evidence of their presence. Author etymologically means the one who protracts, and actually Dotti extends the quantitative art value. A shape can not exist, that is it can not justify its presence, its permanence, if it is not well-proportioned.

Each shape which exists in not a harmonic way is soon considered with indifference, bounds to forgetfulness, i.e. it cease to leave. On this basis, the artist has to demonstrate that the freedom to work is a necessity for him. He becomes the one who does not look at the world on the basis of the received truths. He does not consider from outside what he will give birth from his imagination and from his hands; this is in his creation before having seen the light, living of his life and it is his freedom in existing that infallible transmit it.

These are the thoughts that Dotti's culture suggest. The acceleration of all the activities, both in the mechanic and soul production , has brought disorder.

There is always less time to choose, to remove things of poor quality.

Franco Dotti is part of the uncommon artists, whose number grows thin day by day, who have got the untouchable imagine of the universal change. Under his sculpture, the marble meets again in the time his original meaning based on shapes which only express the qualitative world value. The human time lived by the conscience has a length in which the conscience stages get organized among themselves, place themselves side by side and grow rich in a link from which comes out the free creation act.
