Salvino Marsura Gambe sculpture

In a rare depiction of the human form, Marsura crafts a pair of freestanding legs; they are mid-step and sprightly. 

The piece is in good condition, with patination and wear consistent with age and use. Marsura’s signature is carved on the base. 

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.
