Description from the seller
Surreal Pop Sculpture "David's Inner Core" – Golden Skull Edition
3D Printed Collector Bust – Deep Black Body and Skull Inlaid in Metallized Gold
Bring into your spaces a conceptual artwork of extraordinary visual and symbolic impact. This sculpture reinterprets in Pop Surrealist key one of the most iconic works of Italian Renaissance, Michelangelo's David, blending the harmony of classical art with the provocation and mystery of contemporary Dark Art.
Artistic Concept, Technical Inlay and Chromatic Contrast
Neoclassical Revisit and Pop Art: The bust captures the famous features of David – the curly hair, the defiant gaze and the neck muscle tension – reinterpreted in an elegant and deep matte/satin black tone.
Golden Inlaid Skull: The piece features a sculptural opening on the left side of the face revealing the interior of the skull, rendered with a spectacular metallized gold and brilliant finish. The skull is inset within the head’s architecture through a sophisticated interlocking system, designed to accommodate the golden component and to enhance the Vanitas concept and the eternal beauty that hides a mortal nature.
Chromatic and atmospheric contrast: The contrast between the dark opaque shell and the golden heart creates a magnetic focal point. Light reflects on the orbital cavities and the anatomical reliefs of the skull, giving the work an expressive shimmer depending on the viewing angle.
