Large Wooden Sculptural Triptych by Nerone Ceccarelli, Italy ca. 1978

About the Item

Large wooden sculptural triptych by Nerone Ceccarelli, Italy ca. 1978. Unique wall relief showing a variety of carved organic and free-form geometric shapes arranged into a harmonious composition. Observing the work, the large circle positioned at the center catches the eye at first sight; continuing the observation, the other monumental shapes, refined details, carvings, structured surfaces, and its different levels come into view. It's actually the large-scale forms that really make this work stand out from other works made in the NP2 period, the time Nerone and Patuzzi worked together. They stopped their collaboration in 1974–75; Nerone continued solo after that period and returned to his personal style, putting more attention and handcraft into his works. A great effort and conviction has been put into this work. Besides that, the tones used are a bit lighter and warmer. Nerone used a special technique to bring the wood to life: the wood was polished and darkened through friction during the labor process and rubbed in with multiple layers of colored wax. This method resulted in a typical deep and rich finish with various gradients and color tones. Provided with a certificate of authenticity by the Nerone Ceccarelli Archive. The work remains in excellent condition.

Nerone & Patuzzi Zinc Headboard Panel, Italy, 1970s
By Nerone and Patuzzi
Located in Hellouw, NL
This Nerone & Patuzzi zinc head panel, produced in the seventies, stands as a remarkable example of artistic expression. Crafted by Nerone Cecciarelli and Giancarlo Patuzzi, masters of working with forms of zinc, this piece showcases a beautiful example of that. The zinc is skillfully treated with acid, resulting in an interplay of light across its surfaces, where smooth and shiny areas contrast with rough and dark textures. The head panel's design features lines that meticulously trace furrows and define distinct surfaces, each possessing a stark and essential geometry. The deliberate arrangement of shapes creates a harmonious composition that captures the viewer's attention. The artist's technique produces a relief effect, adding depth and dimension to the forms on the panel. Within this abstract artwork, one cannot help but notice echoes of avant-garde pioneers like Joan Miró and Picasso...
