Der italienische Maler, Grafiker und Bildhauer Bruno Bruni wurde 1935 in Gradara bei Pesaro/ Italien geboren. Zwischen 1953 und 1959 studierte der Bildende Kunst am Instituta d'Arte in Pesaro. Durch Ausstellungen in Pesaro und Florenz konnte Bruni bereits auf sich aufmerksam machen. 1959 ging er dann nach London, wo er sich ausführlich mit Pop-Art zu beschäftigen begann. Die Whibley Gallery in London zeigte daraufhin seine Arbeiten in einer umfangreichen Ausstellung, bevor er dann 1960 an die Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg ging und bei Georg Gresko und Paul Wunderlich studierte. Bruno Bruni lebt und arbeitet heute in Hamburg und Urbino. Bereits in den 1970er Jahren hat sich Bruni mit seinen charakteristischen figurativen Motiven als Zeichner, Lithograf, Maler und Plastiker einen internationalen Namen gemacht. So erhielt er 1977 den Internationalen Senefelder Preis für Lithografie. Bruno Bruni wird als der beliebteste und bekannteste italienische Künstler in Deutschland bezeichnet. |

Features and remarks
Here you have the opportunity to purchase a limited edition bronze by the artist Bruno Bruni.
The sculpture was produced using the lost wax technique (also known as cire perdue or a cera persa)
Bruni drew inspiration for this sensual figure from the ancient myth of Leda. Zeus, the father of the gods, fell in love with her and is said to have transformed himself into a swan and given birth to the beautiful king's daughter. She became pregnant and gave birth to, among others, the beautiful Helen, who ultimately became the cause of the Trojan War.
The artist has merged the two lovers into one figure here: the graceful female body bears a swan's head and wings at the top. The delicate female figure captivates with a subtle, timeless composition and gentle erotic allure.
The surface was polished after casting and patinated in different colours. The female part is dark and velvety matt in colour, while the animal's head stands out in shiny silver. The figurine is mounted on a solid marble base.
Upon request, a transparent perspex box can be provided to the buyer free of charge as a display case and dust protection.
