This wall sculpture is a striking work by the Italian artist A. Di Giovanni, created in the period between 1950 and 1970. The object depicts a futuristic sailing ship and is a striking example of the Brutalist style, characterized by rough textures and an expressive visual language.
The artwork is entirely handmade from metal and finished with a bronze patina, giving the surface a rich, layered appearance. The sculpture measures 62.5 centimeters in width, 79 centimeters in height, and has a depth of 5 centimeters. The construction displays a complex interplay of welded metal elements, including sails, masts, and ship details, which together create a dynamic three-dimensional effect. The work is clearly signed by the maker.
The sculpture is in excellent vintage condition, with the original finish and characteristic patina fully preserved. The robust construction and authentic materials contribute to the historical value of the object. This wall object comes into its own particularly well in an industrial or eclectic interior, where it can serve as a powerful statement on the wall. It forms an intriguing contrast with sleek, modern furniture or, conversely, complements a space with other vintage and brutalist elements.
