AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title of the work: Katana Equus
Author: Charles Farigola
Execution year: 2026
Sculpture built from scratch by Charles Farigola
Technique: Polymer sculpture on a wooden base, painterly work with dripping technique and high-density enamel.
Dimensions: 22 x 24 cm
Signed: Yes, hand-signed by the author on the base.
Condition: Original work in excellent conservation state, created from scratch.
Description of the Work
Original sculpture with exclusive authorship signed by Charles Farigola. This piece breaks the boundaries of traditional figuration to venture into a raw, pop, and deeply material-intensive territory.
The sculpture represents a geometrized and transfigured equine head, pierced by a katana that acts as a cutting and symbolic axis. On the polymer structure molded from scratch and firmly anchored on a solid turned wooden base, an aggressive yet meticulously applied clash of color unfolds.
The surface treatment avoids any commercial artificery to center on the vibration of textures: streams of vivid paint descend with force in a dynamic dripping that enhances volume, relief and the physical weight of the material. The crests and angular profiles contrast with the fluidity of the enamels, generating an optical play of chaotic yet perfectly calibrated patterns.
A piece with strong visual presence, ideal for collectors of contemporary art, neo-pop and creators seeking works with an unmistakable identity and a strong tactile component.
Production and creation process:
Structural construction and modeling:
Multifaceted / Geometric design: Base modeling of the stylized head using faceted surfaces and geometric edges.
Resin/polymer casting: Casting in polymer resin to obtain a lightweight, rigid and durable structure.
Assembly of the exogenous element: Structural incorporation and fixation of the pierced object (katana/sword) in the head and forehead of the piece.
Pictorial intervention and Pop Art:
Base painting and color blocks: Application of acrylic paint and enamels in vibrant chromatic blocks (geometric style) on the sculpture's facets.
Dipping / Drip Painting (Expressive drips): Application of layers of high-viscosity paint with fluorescent/neon pigmentation on the top, letting gravity flow to create drips, droplets and threads of paint that run toward the base.
Liquid effect and transparent resin finish:
Drips of epoxy resin / Transparent gel: Application of transparent epoxy resin (or dense liquid gel) to create dripping effects hanging from the muzzle and falling toward the plinth, achieving a three-dimensional freeze of the fluid.
Mounting on pedestal: Assembly on a circular wooden/pigmented resin pedestal, integrating the drips’ fall onto the base to unify the composition.
Protection and final finish:
High-gloss varnish (Glossy finish): Final coat of varnish or a transparent one-component resin to give an ultra-bright, wet finish to the entire piece, protecting the acrylic pigments from UV rays and dust buildup.
