Description from the seller
"Cangiant Low-Poly Bull" – Vanessa Bonino (2026)
In this work, Vanessa Bonino reinterprets the primordial strength of the bull through a digital low-poly geometric language, skillfully transposed into the materiality of terracotta. The sculpture is finished with a changing cold patina, where cobalt blue, emerald green, and golden reflections blend following the facets of the surface. This chromatic play enhances the plastic volume and the dynamism of the figure, creating a fascinating contrast between ancestral earth and contemporary aesthetics. Unique piece (1/1), it testifies to an artistic research that unites traditional craftsmanship and futuristic visions. Includes COA.
It will be shipped inside a solid enclosure, with a certificate of authenticity.
Vanessa Bonino (Turin, 1992), is a contemporary artist whose current research focuses on the plastic force of material sculpture. Trained in the cultural fervor of Turin, Bonino has evolved her eclectic style toward an original synthesis between ceramic tradition and digital languages.
Her latest productions attest to a deep experimentation with terracotta and glazed ceramic, where ancestral forms — such as the bull or carp figure — are reinterpreted through low-poly geometries or expressionist shapes charged with dynamism. Her stylistic signature is distinguished by the adept use of changing cold patinas and vitreous glazes, capable of transforming the earth into surfaces vibrant with light and color.
Addressing themes related to nature and the metamorphosis of matter, Bonino creates works that are at once solid and fluid, inviting the viewer to reflect on the boundary between the archaic and the future. Her steady rise in the Italian contemporary art scene is confirmed by an increasingly solid presence in private collections and dynamic exhibition contexts."
