Italian futurist wall sculpture with anthropoform

About the Item

**Futurist Sculpture: Dynamism and Movement through Wood** In the context of Italian Futurism, an artistic movement that revolutionized art and thought in the early 20th century, sculpture is one of the fields where the search for new expressive languages is most powerfully expressed. Futurist sculpture not only breaks away from academic tradition but also strives to represent reality in motion, capturing the dynamic essence of modern life. A significant example of this exploration is a wall sculpture made of wood, which perfectly embodies the stylistic features of Futurism. This sculptural work, entirely crafted from wood, features a series of decorative inserts that appear to "vibrate" upwards. The choice to use wood, a traditional material, in an innovative context accentuates the connection between tradition and the new Futurist approach. The decorations, shaped with broken and irregular lines, suggest the incessant movement typical of machines and modern life, themes that Futurists sought to explore in their works. The forms that rise upwards, like an ascending motion, suggest the idea of energy being released, embodying the sense of speed and continuous change. Futurism, as an artistic movement, was intrinsically linked to the representation of dynamism and simultaneity, concepts that were developed in the Futurist manifestos, including Boccioni's manifesto of 1912, which outlined the need for sculpture to express movement and vitality in a new and original way. This wooden sculpture fits perfectly into this context, as its structure and decorations almost seem to "come to life," suggesting an ongoing transformation in space. The broken lines and forms in motion embody Boccioni's principle of "the interpenetration of planes," which he explored both theoretically and practically in his works, and which finds a plastic expression in wood here. "The price listed is the final price. Any duties or customs charges are already included and remain entirely our responsibility, so you will not incur any additional costs. Shipping separately to be agreed upon. "Futurist sculpture does not simply aim to represent a static object, but seeks to involve the observer in a sensory experience that expresses the ceaseless change of modernity. Dynamism and movement are not just themes; they become essences that permeate the very material of the work. In this sense, the inclusion of wood decorations that "vibrate" upwards is not merely a stylistic choice but a declaration of intent: a sculpture that challenges traditional static representation and embraces fluidity and speed, key themes of Futurism. This work, therefore, is not only an example of sculpture but also a visual manifesto of the principles that guide the Futurist movement-an invitation to see the world through the eyes of those who perceive modernity as a continuous, vibrant, and electrifying process of transformation.
