"Male Alpha-clown (red)".
Carved and polychrome wood. Exemplary 1/1.

Measurements: 57 x 82 x 27 cm.
Round sculpture made of polychrome wood, which realistically represents a product of the imagination where a human face is hybridized with a body of animal physiognomy. This conjunction has a fanciful or mythical character reminiscent of beings such as the sphinx, the hippogriff, or the hippocampus. Thus establishing an aesthetic paradox of the revision of these concepts through a contemporary language or perspective.
