A small brass sculpture of an owl in a brutalist style - France - 1970s

About the Item

A small brass sculpture of an owl in a style reminiscent of Germain Richier or César Baldaccini. This unique piece features a textured, organic surface, marked by raw details and a handcrafted aesthetic. The irregular volumes and sculptural forms evoke the expressive, deconstructed approach of these artists, where the material seems alive and in motion. The simplified, stylized legs subtly contrast with the heavier, intricately worked body. The patinated brass, with golden and coppery hues, adds visual and tactile richness. Ideal for lovers of modern art or sculptures influenced by Brutalism, this compact piece is perfect for a collection or as a decorative item on a shelf or desk.
