About the Item

This 1980s sculpture is a powerful testament to contemporary abstract modern art, an artwork that embodies the essence of industrial design transformed into visual poetry. Created by the talented Mantuan artist Brunelli Mario, the piece stands out for its solid and imposing structure, composed of black-painted iron columns that rise with a primal force, almost evoking the image of an ancient petrified forest. The rough, deliberately imperfect surfaces of these columns tell a story of material and time, where each brushstroke of black paint seems to amplify the intensity of the forms, making them simultaneously opaque and mysterious. These forms ascend from the wooden base, a sturdy pedestal that contrasts with the ferocity of the iron, as if it wants to root the strength of the work in the earthly realm. The deep black that dominates the sculpture is not just a color but an emotional element that absorbs the gaze and invites the viewer to lose themselves in the details of the surfaces, to imagine the stories that might be hidden behind every crease and crack. This sculpture is a perfect example of how abstract art can communicate without words, using simple yet powerful forms to evoke complex emotions. The Italian origin of the work is not just a geographical detail but a nod to an artistic tradition that for centuries has explored beauty through matter and form, with Brunelli Mario inserting himself into this tradition with a unique and contemporary voice. This piece is, ultimately, a dialogue between the brute force of iron and the delicate refinement of art, an encounter between past and present, where matter becomes a metaphor for thought.
