Daniele Fortuna
Venus Fontana - Original Sculpture

2020

About the Item

Daniele Fortuna's Venus sculpture is a captivating fusion of classical beauty and contemporary vibrancy, marrying the timeless elegance of ancient Greco-Roman art with the bold, dynamic essence of pop culture. Drawing from a wide array of influences, from high fashion and global brands to pop icons, Fortuna’s work brings the ancient world to life through a modern lens. This unique piece features hand-cut and painted wooden layers that reconstruct Venus with an infusion of bright, pop color, challenging the traditional perception of classical sculptures as monochrome relics. The sculpture’s base, with a deliberate cut, pays homage to Lucio Fontana's spatial concepts, adding depth and a modernist critique to the piece. Through this sculpture, Fortuna bridges eras, revitalizing the colorful reality of classical art and integrating it with contemporary narratives. Owning this piece means appreciating a profound dialogue between past and present, rendered through Fortuna’s innovative visual language. It's not just a sculpture; it's a statement of cultural synthesis and a vibrant homage to historical truth and artistic innovation.
