BID HISTORY

DESCRIPTION

Zoomorphic sculpture; 1970s.
“Bull.”
Ceramic.
Measurements: 21 x 32 x 14 cm.
This piece is part of a movement to revive the forms and textures of ancestral art, reinterpreted through a contemporary sensibility. Its enigmatic silhouette, with its concise and bold forms, evokes the figure of a resting bull, reduced to its essential elements and endowed with a powerful sculptural presence.
Handcrafted in ceramic, it stands out particularly for its rich texture and surface treatment. The earthy tones, ranging from ochres to sianas and browns, are combined with areas of dark, almost black glaze that define the head and horns and create striking hallmarks of contrast with the rough, organic texture of the base. The deliberate irregularity of the surface, the traces of the modeling, and the variations in the finish reinforce its unique, handcrafted character, moving away from a naturalistic representation to focus on the animal’s symbolic and expressive power. Through an economy of form, the work thus succeeds in encapsulating concepts such as strength, permanence, and a connection to the earth.
Through its language—which is both primitive and contemporary—the piece engages with the tradition of sculptural ceramics and the revival of archaic forms that developed during the 20th century. A work of great decorative and sculptural presence, particularly well-suited for collections of modern art, contemporary ceramics, and primitivist-inspired pieces.
