Detailed description
Sculpture "Nudo nuovo" (1992), version in artificial marble, bronzed
"Venice's sun will prepare a gold in your hair..." Such Rilke verses may come to the mind of the lover of the lagoon city and its traditional art of living and loving when encountering Terèsa. The Venetian sculptor Tessaro, who specialised in athletic girls with taut physiques in dramatic positions, shows her here sleepily awakening from wild dreams to greet the new day, the ruffled bed sheet hinting at her mental excitement.
Carrara marble granules with bronze effect finish. Artist's signature on the statuette. Height 32 cm. Weight approx. 5.4 kg.
About Vittorio Luigi Tessaro
Tessaro was born in 1958 in Tuscany and grew up in the Vicenza area. He was the greatest modern talent of the Venetian school of sculpture, working freelance and on commission after his art diploma.
Tessaro mastered the classical language of art: dreamy yet clear. Tessaro's sculptures embody self-confident young women. He captures their graceful and erotic charisma in natural poses. His preferred material is Carrara marble. He creates his slender female sculptures with a sensitivity that is expressed in the virtuoso mastery of form and in the infinitely delicate modelling of the surface: hymns to female beauty.
Marble powder is polymer-bonded. Artificial marble is characterised by a fine white surface that appears very similar to marble.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
