Pieces that would have been mocked and rejected decades earlier freed artists to pursue all creative avenues! Here, a giant hand-formed brutalist scorpion sculpture is the epitome of brutalist creativity! Raw wood and metal give a decidedly rough and menacing edge to this scorpion! The artist bent and cut the metal expertly and captures the form and fluidity of the scorpions body! Brutalist art embodies several key elements: A sense of rawness. Exposed or unfinished materials. Visual weight and presence. In general, brutalist art often reveals its structure as the surface of its form. By the early seventies brutalism was embraced as a high form of artistic expression and is now sought after with great fervor! This scorpion is a wonderful work of art that will not only command attention, but will add that mid century charm and flair that original mid century art endows upon an interior! The raw metal elements here are sculpted and exposed and the visual textural appeal of this piece is sensational! The wrought steel has a consistent tarnish throughout! This piece is in excellent vintage condition. Time has given this work an incredible consistent patina to the welded metal, sculpted wood and enameled elements! This art will make a monumental addition to your NY penthouse, Palm Springs atomic ranch or UK summer home!
