Stunning, statement-making post-modern pop art sculpture featuring a bouquet of giant artist paintbrushes sitting inside a paint-drip textured vase.

This piece is ivery similar in design, scale, and craftsmanship to the iconic “Strumenti del Pittore” (The Painter's Tools) sculptures by the celebrated Venetian master woodcarver, Livio De Marchi (Italian, b. 1943). Known globally as the "Carpenter of Venice,"

De Marchi is world-renowned for his hyper-realistic, whimsical everyday objects carved from wood.

Details & Craftsmanship: Features beautifully carved wooden paintbrush handles and sculpted bristle heads finished with vibrant, glossy acrylic paint.

The textured ceramic vase is dynamically detailed with intentional colorful paint splatters and cascading drips mimicking a busy artist's studio.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition with minimal wear consistent with age.

Bright, vivid colors with a fantastic, hefty presence.

Authenticity Note: No visible signature was located on the pieces, so it is being sold and priced as "Attributed to" / "In the style of" the artist.

An incredible, conversation-starting focal piece for mid-century modern homes, eclectic spaces, art studios, or design collectors. See less
