Description

Giovanni Schoeman sculpture of a Peacock in cold-cast bronze, large size, in the Brutalist style. Giovanni Schoeman sculpture, Peacock, cold-cast bronze 1970`s Code: 10708 Price: SOLD Dimensions: Height: 100cm (39.4") Width: 143cm (56.3") Depth: 6cm (2.4") Giovanni Schoeman sculpture of a Peacock in cold-cast bronze, large size, in the Brutalist style, 1970`s ca, English. This vintage wall sculpture has been thoroughly cleaned while respecting the vintage patina. This particularly large Schoeman wall sculpture from around 1972, is fascinating on several levels. The Peacock is deconstructed into core parts with severe geometric representation typical of the Brutalist style. In addition Schoeman went beyond his usual icons and patterns to included classical images such as fairies. Made from `Cold Cast Metal`; a technique developed in the 1960`s where metal powder is set within a resin binder. In this sculpture, bronze, copper and white metal are artistically built up and stamped. The attention to detail and crisp finish are exemplary of Schoeman`s creative & technical ability. After the casting this piece was signed by Giovanni below the tail (as photographed). Framed on the original vintage Hessian brown background and original vintage gilt wood frame. The frame hangs safely on the wall by two strong hooks fitted at the back. If preferred by the customer, the sculpture could be easily removed from the frame and hessian background to be displayed on its own. The sculpture is in excellent condition, sound and complete, with no losses and a warm vintage patina.
