AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vanessa Bonino's work is a powerful formal synthesis that depicts a bull in dynamic tension. Created in terracotta, the sculpture deceives the eye thanks to a masterful cold patina that reproduces the oxidation of ancient bronze. The body, with almost cubist geometries, concentrates the mass into an imposing hump, a symbol of primordial strength. The surface is richly tactile, full of grooves and undulations that vibrate under the light, while the green color gives it a totemic and timeless appearance. It is a dialogue between earth and metal, where animal vigor becomes monumental and vibrant art.
It will be shipped inside a sturdy container, with a certificate of authenticity.
Vanessa Bonino, born in Turin in 1992, is a contemporary artist known for her eclectic and innovative style. Her artistic research spans diverse techniques and materials, from paintings to sculptures, always with a strong attention to detail and experimentation. Her works often combine realistic and surreal elements, addressing themes related to nature, femininity and identity, with a mix of elegance and expressiveness. Bonino stands out for her ability to interpret reality in an original way, creating pieces that stimulate reflection and emotionally engage the viewer. Her young career has led her to exhibit in various shows, consolidating her role in the Italian contemporary art scene.
Seller's Story
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 testify to a deep experimentation with terracotta and glazed ceramic, where ancestral forms — such as the bull or the carp — are reinterpreted through low-poly geometries or expressionist, highly dynamic sculptures. Her stylistic signature is distinguished by the expert use of color-shifting cold patinas and vitreous glazes, capable of transforming 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 ever firmer presence in private collections and dynamic exhibition contexts.
