About the Item

A monumental work of art, this extra-large Brutalist wall sculpture by Carlos Marinas Rubio hails from Spain, crafted in 1975. Executed in hammered copper, brass, and steel, this powerful piece holds a significant provenance, originally commissioned for the iconic Telefonica building in Madrid. It embodies a bold, sculptural presence that captivates the viewer. Marinas Rubio masterfully utilized the raw textures of hammered copper, warm brass, and robust steel, creating a compelling visual tapestry of polished planes, geometric cuboids, and intriguing, almost organic textures in the bronze-toned sections. This dynamic interplay of light and shadow is characteristic of the Brutalist movement. The artwork is thoughtfully designed to be mounted as separate pieces, allowing for a compelling, expansive installation directly onto the wall, transforming its surroundings with an undeniable industrial elegance. In good original condition, this formidable sculpture stands as a testament to its era's artistic courage and material exploration. Its grand scale and distinctive material composition make it an exceptional statement piece, ideal for a spacious contemporary interior, a minimalist setting, or an industrial-inspired loft, offering both historical depth and undeniable visual impact.
