L'Altipianese Irsuto by Enza Fasano Ceramiche

5 3/4”W x 5”H x 8”D

Enza Fasano, carrying on the legacy of her father, Nicola Fasano, presents a captivating ceramic sculpture that continues her exploration of the bovine form with this striking terracotta sculpture. This minimalist piece reimagines the iconic Highland cow in a warm monochrome palette, embodying Fasano's signature blend of tradition and modern design. The almost spherical body is topped with stylized horns. Departing from traditional representation.  A defined face focuses attention on the pure form and the tactile quality of the ceramic. The textured details of the shaggy coat and stylized horns contrast with the smooth, rounded body, highlighting Fasano's mastery of ceramic techniques. This emphasizes the invitation to contemplate the rustic charm and gentle nature of this beloved animal. This sculpture embodies a blend of ancient tradition and modern design, suggesting both strength and peacefulness. A testament to Fasano's skill in capturing the essence of an animal form through simple, elegant lines, celebrating traditional craftsmanship rendered with a contemporary sensibility.
