''Old Enemy, New Victim'', a scene of hate-filled violence tempered only minimally by the grotesque comedy of a large ape being throttled and attacked by two ravenous beasts, has its source in both political fable and animal sculpture.
"I'm interested in culture, not nature,'' says Matelli.
The fables that artist illustrates focus on the rejects of wealthy society, challengers of the social order, and victims of technological progress.
