The layered construction, pierced openings and rhythmic arrangement of planes create a powerful sense of movement, while the dark patinated surface emphasizes the raw character of the material.

the work reflects the experimental spirit of post-war european sculpture, where industrial techniques and abstract forms became central themes. Depending on the viewing angle, the composition reveals different silhouettes, suggesting influences from constructivism, cubism and brutalism while maintaining a strong sculptural identity of its own.

handcrafted from welded iron and signed with the monogram “ch”, the sculpture possesses the tactile quality and individual character associated with unique studio-made works from the 1960s. Its bold presence makes it equally suitable for modern, industrial or contemporary interiors.

about the artist
the sculpture bears the monogram “ch”, though the artist has not yet been identified. Works of this period often emerged from small independent studios where artists explored abstraction through welding, cutting and assembling industrial materials. The result is a highly individual object that reflects the experimental energy of mid-century european sculpture.

condition
very good condition, with an attractive natural patina developed over time.
