This set of wall panels was made with a lot of care and precision: the little ash cubes are dead straight and the strips have all been attached separately with a single nail (or two) and some glue to the bigger motherboard. Together they create a spectacle for the eye with so much to see for those who like this kind of brutalist and literally cubistic style of surface patterning. Somehow, it very much resembles the bigger city landscaping with enormous building blocks and railways or rivers, giving them a brutalist twist. In the evening when it's darker and the wall panels are in a spotlight you will be amazed by what the city-scaping structure can do with shadows. It's very playful and it just gives them just the bit extra. There is not so much known about d'Amico's work apart from that he held expositions in Milan and Genova in the late 1960s and that he was a sculptor, born on Sicily. We found him in a book and his other work is also interesting and shows quite some resemblance with this work. Dimensions: 188 x 75 x 8 cm 202 x 86 x 8 cm
