Sculpture Contemporary Geometric Constructivist Wood Concrete Grey – The Horse

“No doors opened, nobody answered,no sound of steps,no dogs barking,no horses neighing, nothing broke that taciturn hallucination.”

The Deserted City is a series of sculptural constructions in homage to “GOG”, the book by Giovanni Papini, 1881-1956.

ARCHITECTURAL AND ENIGMATIC. DRAMATIC. DARK. CRUDE. BALANCED. BRUTALISTIC. ATEMPORAL.

The sculptures in The Deserted City speak of labyrinths and impossible constructions, where the very vision of the pieces can be confusing. The pieces can be placed in various positions, taking shapes that play with the viewer’s mind through gaps and protrusions.
In them, light and shadow have a fundamental aesthetic and harmonic value, which makes the mind wander, transporting it to a space-time lost in the confines of known civilisation.

We work on it layer by layer. Creating the design and working the wood. Then we cover the piece with layers of coloured plaster applied with a brush to give it volume and we finish with two coats of water-based varnish.
