Toro Inanellato by Enza Fasano Ceramiche

9 1/2”W x 7 1/2”H x 7”D

Enza Fasano, carrying on the legacy of her father, Nicola Fasano, presents a captivating ceramic sculpture that continues her exploration of the bull form with this striking gray-white sculpture. This minimalist, almost spherical body is topped with stylized horns that embody her signature blend of tradition and modern design. The detachable rings that adorn the horns evokes a sense of ritualistic adornment and allow for a customizable experience, inviting the owner to personalize the piece and create their own interpretation. Departing from traditional representation, Fasano reimagines the bull in a stark white monochrome palette. The absence of a defined face focuses attention on the pure form and the tactile quality of the ceramic, inviting contemplation on the power and symbolism of this iconic animal and encourages viewers to project their own emotions and associations onto the piece. This sculpture embodies a blend of ancient tradition and modern design, highlighting the bull's essential form, and suggest both power and restraint. This piece is a powerful statement about the complexities of strength and identity and embodies a blend of ancient tradition and modern design.
