Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This monumental sculptural work features an intricate, symmetrical composition dominated by stark white forms against a neutral background. The central structure resembles a throne or altar, flanked by two stylized bird-like figures perched on pedestals. The combination of geometric and organic elements, along with the minimalist palette, suggests a modernist aesthetic. The overall impression is one of solemn, almost ritualistic character, inviting the viewer to contemplate the underlying symbolism and the artist's intention to explore themes of power, spirituality, and the relationship between humans and the natural world. ...

Bruno Gironcoli
B.1936, Austrian

Bruno Gironcoli’s monumental, shiny and idiosyncratic sculptures, made of iron, aluminium, tin or brass, are undeniably unique and not quite explainable. Confusingly both mechanical and organic, archaic and utopian, they stand in their structural amorphousness, almost like a new species discovered in an archaeological ruin but also coming from a distant, alien future. Here and there one can notice human-looking and made objects, like keys, horns and infants, and such recognition is disconcerting amidst the metallic unfamiliarity of Gironcoli’s gigantic creatures. The artist's practice is associated with the confusion and trauma humanity underwent through in the second half of the 20th century produced such a peculiar expression of human or non-human nature. While uncanny and existential, Gironcoli’s sculptures are also strangely comforting and humorous. Somehow, their unfamiliarity makes sense. The Austrian artist, who was born in 1936 and who died in 2010, is arguably one of the most important sculptors in his generation. First trained as a goldsmith, he proceeded to study painting. In the 1950s he became the Head of the sculpture department at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna where he was a mentor to such prominent artists as Franz West, Ugo Rondinone and Hans Schabus.
