Carved Marble Skull in Nero Marquina with Brass & Quartz Pitons

About the Item

Engage your senses with this remarkable, carved Nero Marquina marble skull, a provocative work of art that revels in its audacious form. More than an artifact of the macabre, it is a stirring exploration of contrasting aesthetics and materials that incites contemplation and conversation. Artfully hewn from Nero Marquina marble, the skull arrests the observer's gaze with its somber, rich-black hue. This choice of medium reflects the complex narratives inherent to the permanence of stone - each surface smoothed and polished to a lustrous finish that speaks to the meticulous craftsmanship invested. A dramatic counterpoint is the daringly arranged 'mohawk' of brass and quartz spikes, which crowns the skull. The juxtaposition is startling, raw brass against polished marble, its stark industrial feel against the earth-born solidity of the skull. The mohawk, in its defiance, elevates the skull from a piece of art to a narrative of boldness and rebellion. This marble skull, with its bold details and unexpected aesthetic harmony, will lend a captivating dynamic to any space. It is both a dialogue between materials and a statement on the balance of life's forces - a piece that invites us to examine, interpret, and most importantly, to feel. It's more than a possession; it's an engagement with the boundary-pushing spirit of the avant-garde.
