Vanessa Bonino - Geometric Bull

Vanessa Bonino's work is a powerful formal synthesis that depicts a bull in dynamic tension. Made in terracotta, the sculpture deceives the eye with a masterful cold patination that reproduces the oxidation of ancient bronze.
The body, with almost cubist geometries, concentrates the mass in an imposing hunch, a symbol of primal strength. The surface is richly tactile, full of grooves and wrinkles that vibrate under the light, while the blue color gives it a totemic, timeless appearance. It is a dialogue between earth and metal, where animal vigor becomes monumental and vibrant art.

It will be shipped inside a solid shell, with an authenticity certificate.

Vanessa Bonino (Turin, 1992) is a contemporary artist whose current research focuses on the plastic force of material sculpture. Formed 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 figure of the bull or the carp — are reinterpreted through low-poly geometries or expressionist, dynamic-modulated shapes. Her stylistic signature is distinguished by the savvy use of changing cold patinas and vitreous glazes, capable of transforming earth into surfaces vibrantly alive with light and color.
Facing 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 rising presence in the Italian contemporary art panorama is confirmed by an increasingly solid presence in private collections and dynamic exhibition contexts.
