Mid Century Brutalist Caste Bronze Bull’s Head Sculpture Signed Valdema Balutis

This intriguing and playful Brutalist Bull’s Head Sculpture signed Vlademar Valutis originates from Sweden, created in 1974. Featuring a stylized and texturally intriguing bull’s head on a two-part rectilinear base, the maker uses lines of metal to sculpt the form of the Bull in a network of triangular planes stitched together and aligned in dynamic and unexpected juxtapositions of form, well utilized in brutalist sculpture of the period. This allows for the variation in the material and casting process to strengthen and add an alluring textural quality to the sculpture. The Bull’s head is affixed to a hand formed cubic bronze element that rests on a rectangular plane of ebonized walnut. This highly sophisticated yet reserved sculpture will serve as an excellent addition to those with a love of Brutalist sculpture and will style brilliantly in a wide array of interiors and settings. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
