Description

This captivating wall sculpture is a powerful example of Modernist figurative art, executed with a raw, hand-hammered technique. The piece features a stylized human face with primitive, almost Brutalist proportions, evoking a sense of ancient mystery and timeless emotion. Crafted in heavy-gauge bronze, the surface is richly textured, showing the deliberate marks of the artist's mallet, which create a dynamic play of light and shadow across the recessed eyes and high-relief cheekbones. Its expressive, mask-like quality makes it a striking conversation piece that bridges the gap between traditional folk art and contemporary sculpture. Signed and dated "Spring '90" by artist Cheryl N. on the reverse, this unique piece of original artwork serves as a hauntingly beautiful focal point for a gallery wall, a minimalist studio space, or a curated bookshelf. It measures 8 inches wide, 3 inches deep, and 12 inches high, and is equipped with a sturdy integrated wire for easy mounting. The sculpture is in excellent vintage condition, featuring a deep, authentic bronze patina and minor age-appropriate surface wear that highlights its artisan origins. Invite this evocative piece of late 20th-century sculpture into your collection to add a layer of soulful, avant-garde character to your home.
