AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GATTONE
The ceramic piece is a sculpture depicting a cat, created by artist Vanessa Bonino. It is a figure that plays with rounded, soft forms, almost as if to emphasize the animal’s chubbiness in an affectionate, stylized way.
The sculpture is made of ceramic and has a glossy, glazed finish. Light reflects off its surface, highlighting its curves and volumes.
Its style is modern and minimalist. Although it represents a cat, the artist has focused more on essential forms and the feelings they evoke (tenderness, softness) than on realistically reproducing details. The sculpture has a charming, friendly air.
Vanessa Bonino (Turin, 1992) is a contemporary artist whose current practice focuses on the sculptural power of material-based work. Having trained amid Turin’s vibrant cultural scene, Bonino has evolved her eclectic style into an original synthesis of ceramic tradition and digital languages.
Her latest works attest to a deep experimentation with terracotta and glazed ceramic, in which ancestral forms—such as the figure of the bull or the carp—are reinterpreted through low-poly geometries or expressive, dynamic models. Her distinctive style is marked by the skillful use of iridescent cold patinas and vitreous glazes, capable of transforming earth into surfaces vibrant with light and color.
Addressing themes related to nature and the metamorphosis of matter, Bonino creates works that are both solid and fluid, inviting viewers to reflect on the boundary between the archaic and the future. Her steady rise in the Italian contemporary art scene is confirmed by an increasingly strong presence in private collections and dynamic exhibition settings.
Seller's Story
Vanessa Bonino (Turin, 1992) is a contemporary artist whose current research focuses on the plastic force 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 testify to a deep experimentation with terracotta and glazed ceramic, where ancestral forms — such as the bull or the carp — are reinterpreted through low-poly geometries or expressionist, highly dynamic sculptures. Her stylistic signature is distinguished by the expert use of color-shifting cold patinas and vitreous glazes, capable of transforming 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 steady rise in the Italian contemporary art scene is confirmed by an ever firmer presence in private collections and dynamic exhibition contexts.
