Filippo P. Castrovinci’s 2021 limited-edition steel sculpture “Morsu Sapidum,” edition 12/50, with a marble base, hand-signed on the plaque, measuring 16 × 13 × 13 cm, in excellent condition and produced in Italy.
Description from the seller
Title: "Morsu Sapidum"
Original work by Filippo Pietro Castrovinci, signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
"Morsu Sapidum" is a sculpture in steel that evokes the shape of an apple marked by multiple bites; the metallic material presents a strong and recognizable form, progressively worn by the voids left by the bites.
A simple and immediate image that contrasts the solidity of steel with the idea of consumption and transformation.
Details:
• Material: Corten Steel
• Finish: Brushed and natural multicolored tones
• Dimensions: H 16 × W 13 × D 13 cm
• Limited Edition: Copy No. 12/50
Marble/quartz base:
Each base may show variations in color and natural veining, making each sculpture even more unique.
Packaging and shipping:
Professional packaging with a double-wall box to ensure maximum protection.
Tracked shipment via national and international couriers.
Artist's note:
With Morsu Sapidum I wanted to tell the desire through a universal gesture, to bite, to savor, to appropriate for a moment something that attracts us; the bite breaks the perfection of the form and leaves a trace, transforming the object into experience and memory.
