Description

Monumental Brutalist Tower Sculpture — Hand-Sculpted Gaudí-Style Organic Form, 7

Impressive hand-sculpted and painted monumental tower sculpture, composed of five interlocking sections on a wooden plinth. Rising 78 inches in height, the piece presents a richly textured surface reminiscent of natural stone or coral, hand-finished in layered tones of green, grey, and blue. The tower ascends in rhythmic tiers capped by abstract, wing-like figures, creating a sense of upward motion and living architecture.

Blending elements of mid-century Brutalism with Gaudí’s organic modernism, the sculpture bridges architecture and fantasy — its surreal, undulating forms equally evocative of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice aesthetic. A one-of-a-kind, studio-crafted work, it serves as a dramatic focal point for interior or exterior display, embodying both whimsical energy and monumental presence.


Condition:

Good condition overall with wear consistent with outdoor display. Surface shows chips, dust accumulation, and scattered touch-ups. The wood plinth is weathered and exhibits edge wear and paint loss but remains stable. Visible chips and surface roughness throughout are consistent with the artist’s handmade process and age.


Dimensions:

Overall: 78" H x 13" W x 13" D
Approximately 65 Lbs

Composed of five separate interlocking sections, displayed on a wooden plinth.
