Salvino Marsura, Frammenti Sculpture, 2000s

£1,500
Description

The beauty of this origami-like sculpture is that it can be positioned in a multitude of ways, its thin triangular sheets, or ‘fragments’, acting as supports. There is nothing accidental about its considered, perfectly balanced form. Salvino Marsura (1938–2020) was an artisan metalworker. After learning his craft in the dynamic workshop of sculptor and ‘iron poet’ Toni Benetton, he spent more than 60 years producing sculpture, furniture, objects and memorials in his hometown of Treviso, Italy. Marsura’s ironwork art and furniture relishes in the manual aesthetic of the forge, giving voice to the raw metal and the processes of its manipulation including sweltering heat, hammering, bending and welding. His distinctive hand marries elements of brutalism and traditional decorative arts.
