Vanessa Bonino - GeoTaur

Vanessa Bonino's work expresses extraordinary plastic energy and deep ecological sensitivity. Modeled with an innovative sustainable technique — which combines waste materials, plaster, vinavil, and gauze/fabric — the sculpture depicts a bull captured in a dynamic momentum.
The surface, vibrant and tactile, is dominated by intense shades of blue, light blue, and acid green, evoking a suggestive terrestrial map or flows of natural energy. Suspended on a cold metallic pedestal, the mighty bull figure defies gravity, transforming recycled materials into a universal symbol of strength, rebirth, and impetuous vitality.
A new work in which the artist, through the use of mixed technique, gives vent to pure and contemporary expressionism, a mirror of a continuous search in constant harmony with the times.

Vanessa Bonino (Turin, 1992) is a contemporary artist whose current research focuses on the plastic force of tactile 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 profound experimentation with terracotta and glazed ceramic, where ancestral forms — such as the bull or the carp — are reinterpreted through low-poly geometries or expressive, dynamic models. Her stylistic signature lies in the artful use of shifting cold patinas and glass-like glazes, capable of turning 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 constant ascent in the Italian contemporary art scene is confirmed by an ever firmer presence in private collections and dynamic exhibition contexts.
