About the Item
Mexican 20th century silver-plated shark sculpture by Enrique Jolly
Mexican, 20th Century
Height 19cm, width 57cm, depth 25cm
This silver-plated sculpture by Mexican artist Enrique Jolly (1932-2000) offers a refined and minimalist representation of a shark. Rather than focusing on lifelike details or textures, Jolly emphasizes the shark’s essence through its sleek, streamlined form and dynamic stance. The polished surface heightens the visual effect, with light and reflections accentuating the smooth curves and elegant silhouette of the creature.
Signed with the maker's mark 'Jolly', this sculpture embodies Jolly’s signature style—clean lines and simplified shapes that prioritize overall form over intricate detailing.
Renowned for his contemporary sculptures featuring stylized animal motifs, Enrique Jolly is celebrated for his modernist approach, with a strong emphasis on minimalism. The artist won several awards and worked in collaboration with fellow influential Mexican sculptors like Don Luis Albarran y Pliego (1893-1967).
This striking shark sculpture exemplifies Mexican artistry and design, making it a sophisticated addition to any interior.
