A striking, quite heavy Brutalist owl sculpture from the 1960s to 70s, executed in welded and forged metal with a raw, tactile surface. The artist has assembled sheets and rods into a stylized avian form, capturing both the sharp geometry and expressive presence typical of mid-century Brutalist design.
The wide, circular eyes, jagged planes, and textured welds emphasize the handcrafted, almost architectural quality of the piece, while the elongated legs and upright posture give it a quirky, totemic dignity. Brutalist animal sculptures of this type emerged in postwar Europe, where artists and designers experimented with industrial materials to create decorative yet sculptural objects for the modern interior.
Condition is very good, with a beautiful surface patina consistent with age
An expressive piece of Brutalist art that combines a lighthearted spirit with sculptural weight, making it a standout addition to a modernist or eclectic collection.
