Mid Century Modern Brutalist Sculpture
€2200
An intriguing mid-century brutalist sculpture, constructed as a suspended mechanical composition within a polished chromed shell. The open form reveals a dense interior of hand-cut iron rods, cylinders, and geometric elements, assembled with a remarkable sense of rhythm and balance. Part architectural fragment, part futuristic instrument, the work evokes the experimental optimism of the Space Age era.
The mirrored chromed exterior contrasts beautifully with the dark industrial structure inside, creating a tension between refinement and raw materiality. Elevated on a slender steel stem above a solid black granite base, the composition appears almost weightless despite its heavy materials. Reflections continuously alter the perception of the piece, giving it a dynamic presence from every angle.
Though unsigned, the sculpture displays a sophisticated understanding of form, proportion, and material interplay characteristic of European avant-garde metalwork of the 1960s and 1970s. A striking decorative object with strong architectural presence.
Material: Iron, chromed metal, granite.
