$1,100.00

10”W x 11”H x 9 1/2”D

Enza Fasano, daughter of the renowned Master of Ceramic Art, Nicola Fasano, presents a captivating ceramic sculpture that embodies her signature blend of tradition and whimsy. Departing from the playful spirit of her celebrated beetle series, this piece reimagines the iconic bull form in a striking monochrome palette. Faceted in a glossy glaze, the absence of eyes focuses attention on the prominent bull horns, adorned with decorative rings and a bold nose ring.

This stylized representation is unexpectedly joyous. Though lacking a mouth, the sculpture evokes the subtle impression of a smile – a testament to Fasano's ability to imbue even minimalist forms with personality and emotion. More than a static object, "Grinning Bull" invites interaction and interpretation. Display it as a singular statement piece, or let it spark dialogue within an existing collection. A celebration of stylistic innovation, meticulously crafted detail, and vibrant Italian charm for the discerning collector.
