About the Item
This glazed ceramic sculpture depicts an elongated yellow arm, from which a brown hand emerges holding a pale-toned knife. The piece combines a simple figurative language with a glossy finish that highlights the chromatic contrasts. The gesture of the arm and the position of the knife evoke both tension and symbolism, while the stylized forms and vibrant colors give the work a playful yet unsettling character.
Beyond its immediate figurative reading, the piece oscillates between playfulness and menace. The bright colors and stylized forms recall the language of popular imagery or cartoon-like exaggeration, yet the presence of the knife introduces tension, pointing to themes of power, resistance, or confrontation.
