Modern Crucifix - Bronze - 1970-1980 - Inspired by Dalí - 59 cm

An imposing large-format sculptural crucifix made of golden metal, conceived with a pronounced Brutalist and Modernist aesthetic, inspired by the renewing religious iconography developed by Salvador Dalí around Christ of San Juan de la Cruz. The composition deliberately deviates from the traditional crucifix. The figure of Christ appears modeled in pronounced relief and integrates into a spectacular abstract structure formed by irregular extensions, cutouts, and pointed elements projecting in different directions, creating a piece of great dynamism and depth. Particularly interesting is the contrast between the figurative modeling of Christ’s body and the free, expressive treatment of the cross, whose surface presents rough textures and organic shapes characteristic of Brutalist decorative sculpture from the second half of the 20th century. Its three-dimensional construction causes the piece to sit considerably away from the wall, producing attractive plays of light and shadow that modify its appearance depending on the point of observation. Given its sculptural language and formal characteristics, it can be prudently placed in Spain, approximately during the 1970s–1980s, within the production of Modernist religious art influenced by surrealist reinterpretations of Christian iconography. It bears no visible signature, so it is offered as an anonymous work inspired by Salvador Dalí, with no attribution of execution to the artist. It remains in good vintage condition, preserving the appealing gold finish and the complexity of its reliefs. The photographs show in detail both the front and the rear construction and are part of the description of the state.
