Description from the seller
Pietro Colmellere (1997) - The Ram (2018)
Sculpture that represents the head of a ram carved in Swiss pine wood, characterized by an intense and vibrating plastic energy. The curled horn, the lowered snout, and the open ears give the figure a sense of restrained tension, almost of imminent charge.
The deliberately rough surface, marked by the chisel marks, reveals the process of subtraction from matter and dialogues with the organic softness of the 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 naturalness of the material amplifies the animal's vital presence. A work that balances instinct and control, matter and form.
Pietro Colmellere shapes the figure by contrasting the polished features of the horns and the nose with the deliberately rough surface of the rest of the sculpture; in this way the work conveys to the observer a sense of suspension and invites reflection on nature and matter, evoked by the surface texture as well as by the subject itself
