About the Item
This 1970s Brutalist sculptured vase combines bronze and white porcelain in a striking, contrasting design typical of the Brutalist aesthetic. The base of the vase is made of smooth, glossy white porcelain, which forms a simple cylindrical shape. In sharp contrast, the upper portion of the vase is dramatically textured, featuring a rugged, sculptural application of molten bronze that creates an abstract, almost chaotic effect.
The bronze appears to have been applied in a raw, organic fashion, with uneven, jagged edges, drips, and rough textures that give the piece an unfinished, industrial feel. The bronze cascades down the sides of the vase, forming irregular patterns reminiscent of corrosion or lava flows, contributing to the overall Brutalist aesthetic of raw materiality and dramatic texture.
The interplay between the smooth porcelain and the coarse, almost molten bronze creates a dynamic tension, highlighting both the purity of the porcelain and the rugged, aggressive nature of the bronze. The top of the vase features an undulating rim, further enhancing the organic, sculptural feel of the piece. This vase is a bold example of 1970s Brutalism, combining raw materials and unconventional forms to create a piece that is both functional and artistically expressive. It stands as a statement object, blending the sleekness of modern design with the raw power of Brutalist sculpture. It's an unique piece coming from the hands of a unknown Sicilian artist.
