Angelo Zanella, bonobo monkey head, terracotta sculpture, 2018
















Terracotta sculpture depicting a bonobo monkey head made by Angelo Zanella in 2018. This realistic work, made of terracotta, was born from the hands of Angelo Zanella, a contemporary artist focused on sculpture and painting. Capable of creating paintings of any size, one day, almost for fun, finding a block of clay in the studio, he put himself to the test by modeling this material, specifically to create a monkey head that could be used either by placing it or hanging it on a wall. He realized that his ability went far beyond the paintbrush and created a series of "portraits" of bonobos, each with different details and expressions. This example is signed and dated 2018.
