Description from the seller
In this ceramic sculpture, Vanessa Bonino reinterprets the figure of the bull through bold and contemporary geometric language. The structure is defined by faceted surfaces that scatter light into metallic and iridescent reflections, giving the material a nearly mineral or robotic appearance.
The work exudes a primordial yet contained force: the imposing mass of the bull, concentrated in the powerful neck and the extended horns, symbolizes vigor and determination. The dark, glossy finish enhances the tension of the fractured lines, creating a sharp contrast between the solidity of the ceramic and the visual dynamism of the forms. Bonino manages to fuse traditional sculpture with a 'low-poly' aesthetic, transforming the animal into an icon of modern power and archetypal resilience.
It will be shipped inside a solid enclosure, with a certificate of authenticity.
