Bruno Gambone signed stoneware sculpture, geometric shape, terracotta finish, 1990

Dated 1990 and signed under the base, this stoneware sculpture by Bruno Gambone presents a distilled, architectural silhouette—a geometric abstraction that subtly recalls the archetype of a house. Conceived within the artist’s Florentine practice, the work reflects Gambone’s mature vocabulary in the late 20th century: disciplined forms, quiet surfaces, and a preference for sculptural clarity over ornament. The body is executed in stoneware with a tactile, material finish in warm terracotta tones. Two intersecting, blade-like planes rise from a rectilinear base painted in a lime-white hue, creating a poised play of volumes and negative space. The proportions are spare yet deliberate, and the colour contrast between earthy body and pale base adds a measured visual tension. Technically, the piece exemplifies Gambone’s mastery of high-fired stoneware, where the granular surface and controlled firing yield a refined, matte presence. With the original signature and date to the underside, the work comes in excellent condition with only minimal wear consistent with careful handling; no cracks, chips, or restorations are observed.
