AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pietro Colmellere (1997) - The Ram (2018)
Sculpture depicting the head of a ram carved in Swiss pine wood, characterized by an intense and vibrant plastic energy. The curled horn, the lowered muzzle, and the open ears give the figure a sense of restrained tension, almost of imminent charge.
The deliberately rough surface, marked by the traces of the chisel, reveals the process of subtraction from matter and dialogues with the organic softness of animal forms. The Swiss pine wood, with its warm tone and expressive grain, is not only a support but an active part of the sculptural language: the material’s naturalness amplifies the living presence of the animal. A work that balances instinct and control, matter and form.
Pietro Colmellere shapes the figure by contrasting the polished features of the horns and nose with the deliberately rough surface of the rest of the sculpture; in this way the work conveys to the viewer a sense of suspension and encourages reflection on nature and matter, evoked by the texture of the surface as well as by the subject itself
