Description from the seller
Patinated terracotta
This sculpture of the face of a bull, painted in blue and gold tones, combines symbolism of strength and introspection. The bull represents power and fertility, fundamental elements in nature, while the blue evokes calm and depth, creating a fascinating contrast.
Features a hook for hanging. It will be shipped in a solid protective package, with a certificate of authenticity.
Vanessa Bonino (Turin, 1992) is a contemporary artist whose current research focuses on the expressive power 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 bear witness to deep experimentation with terracotta and glazed ceramics, where ancestral forms — such as the bull figure or the carp — are reinterpretated through low-poly geometries or expressive, dynamic-leaning shapes. Her stylistic signature stands out for the deft use of changing cold patinas and glassy glazes, capable of transforming the 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 rise in the Italian contemporary art scene is confirmed by an ever stronger presence in private collections and dynamic exhibition contexts.
