About the Item

This striking Mid-Century Modernist brutalist sculpture, created circa 1965 by artist John Balossi, is an evocative example of mid-century artistry that blends industrial materials with organic creativity. Crafted in torch-cut steel, the piece showcases the distinctive textural and sculptural techniques characteristic of the Brutalist movement, with a raw, unpolished aesthetic that emphasizes material integrity and bold, dynamic forms. The sculpture's steel composition features jagged edges, layered segments, and abstract geometric shapes that evoke an industrial, almost architectural feel. The unpredictable interplay of light with the textural surface creates a dramatic effect, highlighting the rugged beauty of the torch-cut detailing. Balossi’s work often explored the juxtaposition of controlled form and raw execution, and this piece exemplifies that philosophy. The sculpture is mounted on a rectilinear walnut base, which provides a warm, earthy contrast to the cold, metallic tones of the steel. The natural grain and hand-rubbed finish of the walnut underscore the modernist aesthetic, while its rectilinear shape adds clean, minimal lines that frame and elevate the composition. Signed by John Balossi—a renowned sculptor, painter, and ceramist celebrated for his bold, modernist sensibilities—this piece exemplifies his ability to transform everyday industrial materials into highly expressive and thought-provoking art. This sculpture is perfect for collectors, admirers of Brutalist design, or those seeking a powerful statement piece for a modern or industrial-inspired interior. With its timeless, expressive form and expert craftsmanship, this work bridges the gap between mid-century design and fine art, making it a valuable addition to any curated collection or space. Signed on the iron base surface of the sculpture and dated 1965. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
