About the Artwork

Stylised, modern and minimalist male torso sculpture, for sale for interior decoration by the international sculptor Luigi Bartolini who writes…..
“The sculpture represents a human being, man or woman, in the action of leaving the ground. It is a tiring action because it is imagined that it must be sucked downwards. It wants to represent the daily effort that the human being makes to live Note that the wood used is chestnut, from a single trunk. It is now difficult to find chestnut trunks of this size as there is a disease that is killing these trees.

“Si dice che l`uomo è stato fatto con il fango e proprio per questo la vita dell`uomo è una continua fatica per uscire dal fango della terra.

Artist Comment

La scultura rappresenta un essere umano, uomo o donna, nell`azione di uscire dal terreno. E` un`azione faticosa perche` si immagina che debba essere risucchiato verso il basso. Vuole rappresentare la fatica quotidiana che compie l`essere umano per vivere. Da notare che il legno usato è castagno, da un unico tronco. E` ormai difficile trovare tronchi di castagno di tali dimensioni poiche` c`è una malattia che sta uccidendo questi alberi.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
