Brutalist / Wabi Sabi Midcentury Hand Carved Light Wood Sculpture, 1970s

About the Item

An amorphous and free form sculpture by an unknown artist. Carved from one piece of natural wood with a sculptural and sensual shape. Powerful Brutalist sculpture with an interesting contrast between the smooth front and the untouched rough back. Carved out of a solid piece of wood. Very decorative item with and interesting texture and physical presence. The thin edges of the wood give a remarkable expression of movement, like rippling of fabric. The wood has a stunning patina with natural cracks and fissures fitting with a vintage item. The piece is mounted on a solid black wooden base, slightly lifted, adding to its sculptural quality. Condition: very good with some expected stable age splits and nicks, presenting exceptionally well. Marked: unsigned Provenance: Acquired from the collection of a Belgian Architect.
