Salvino Marsura Aereo Distrutto sculpture

The pieces of this ‘destroyed plane’ are laid out as if in a puzzle or a blueprint; the remnants of something that once served a different purpose. One of Marsura’s more brutalist works. 

The piece is in good vintage condition, with patination true to its age.

Salvino Marsura (1938–2020) was an artisan metalworker. After learning his craft in the dynamic workshop of sculptor and ‘iron poet’ Toni Benetton, he spent more than 60 years producing sculpture, furniture, objects and memorials in his hometown of Treviso, Italy.

Marsura’s ironwork art and furniture relishes in the manual aesthetic of the forge, giving voice to the raw metal and the processes of its manipulation including sweltering heat, hammering, bending and welding. His distinctive hand marries elements of brutalism and traditional decorative arts.
