Salvino Marsura Malinteso sculpture

Two abstract figures engage in a dynamic interplay, their forms capturing the tension suggested by the sculpture’s title. The piece resonates with movement, drawing the eye across multiple angles of the encounter.

The piece is in good 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.
