Signed Pia Manu in a small cartouche. Circa 1970. Special order for an owner in Flanders (Belgium). Several important pieces by Pia Manu of this same provenance will be presented in the coming days by @igmarstuer and @pschantiques. Representative of the Flemish Brutalists he models or sculpts primitive forms with materials with a powerful or anti-poetic texture (as he himself calls them) using concrete, earth and slate.

17th century Flemish Corpus Christ

Wonderful weathered 17th century Flemish corpus Christ. This Christ has his traces of age but the highly expressive details and anatomy are still visible. You can see the ribs, muscles and tendons very clearly. You can see a suffering pose and facial expression.

Life-size figurative sculpture by Belgian sculptor Roland Lavianne

Large, life-sized chestnut wood sculpture by Roland LAVIANNE (1948-2022). Simplifying forms to the extreme, Roland LAVIANNE develops a powerful play of volumes, shapes, and lines, using light as a building material. Roland LAVIANNE demonstrates a true mastery of the balance of volumes and lines of force; the characters, both motionless and dynamic, seem to weave a theatrical conversation forever suspended.
