AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent original steampunk-inspired sculpture depicting a seated battle robot, entirely handmade. This unique artwork is offered by artist David H., whose work was showcased in two past exhibitions at Villa Catala, titled "Let My Little Papers Speak".
The sculpture strikes with the striking contrast between the brute force of the warrior and his deep vulnerability. The robot is equipped with two black weapons: one is proudly held in his left hand, while the second is placed next to him, on the right, on the seating surface.
On his right shoulder, a small angel seems to whisper in his ear, plunging the character into deep nostalgia and a search for meaning in the face of the violence imposed on him. On his chest, his gears, tubings and internal mechanisms are left exposed, symbolizing the unveiling of his heart and his mechanical consciousness.
Although the metallic and textured illusion is perfect, the structure is a craftsmanship feat essentially made of paper, demonstrating remarkable technical mastery. The figure rests on a real wooden base, signed by the artist on the back, and is equipped with a copper-effect plastic nameplate at the front.
