About the Item

This unique and striking large-sized abstract mahogany wooden sculpture was created by Yasuo Fuke (Kagawa, Japan, 1929) in the 1968. Yasuo Fuke (born in Kagawa, Japan, 1929) was a distinguished sculptor whose work reflects a unique blend of Japanese refinement and Italian expression. After studying at the Accademia di Brera di Belle Arti in Milan, Fuke developed a signature style that merges the clean lines and delicate sensibility of Japanese artistry with the bold, dynamic forms of Italian modernism. His sculptures, often carved from richly aged wood, are celebrated for their intricate craftsmanship, depth, and the captivating interplay of light and shadow. Fuke’s work stands out for its ability to bridge two distinct cultural traditions into a harmonious and compelling artistic vision. The sculpture exudes a powerful presence, characterized by its raw yet meticulously refined expression. The dark, aged mahogany wood is carved with incredible detail, enhancing the depth and texture of the piece. This craftsmanship creates an engaging interplay of light and shadow, making it fascinating to observe from every angle. The sculpture seems to be floating due to its slender metal base, attached to the back of the piece. The sculpture is signed by Yasuo Fuke on the back and marked with the number "185.3," adding to its authenticity and value as a collectible work of art. The piece remains in very good original condition, a testament to Fuke's mastery of his medium and his ability to transform wood into an evocative, abstract form. It stands as a remarkable example of mid-century sculpture, embodying a unique synthesis of Eastern and Western art traditions that invites viewers to explore its many nuances and layers of meaning.
