Pietra Piasentina

Itinerari nel Rojale

Artwork

Rude and vitally simple modeling, adherence to images of everyday reality, and a playful and ironic interpretation ensure that this sculpture immediately blends into the landscape and gains the sympathies of the audience.

Boldly modeled, with robust cuts and strong chiaroscuro, this child waiting for the bus to return home from school is a brief folk tale created with great freshness in the type of stone that suits it best. The modeled figure and the support, intimately welded to each other, maintain the genuine strength of a piece extracted from the quarry.
