The work is attributed to the German artist collective Ars Munda and features the powerful, almost primitive formal language so characteristic of Brutalism. The birds are highly stylized, with high necks, sharp beaks, and fan-shaped feather details. Thanks to the openwork sections, the composition remains airy despite its considerable height. The wall becomes a visible part of the work and changes with the incidence of light. The surface is roughly modeled and rich in irregular structures. The dark finish emphasizes every line and depression, causing the relief to appear differently from various angles. It is precisely the combination of rough texture and graceful bird forms that gives the sculpture its unique character. The wall sculpture is crafted from cast resin and features a flat-finished back with a hanging bracket. The work has been carefully cleaned by us and is in well-maintained vintage condition, with signs of use consistent with its age and handmade character. A striking art object that comes into its own beautifully on a plain wall, where light and shadow play freely. Height 83 cm Width 24 cm Depth 7 cm See less
