Dealer notes
A striking early work by John Balossi (1931–2007), this 1967 welded steel sculpture draws you in with its bold, geometric form and commanding presence. The rectangular framework is dynamic and captivating, featuring four asymmetrical cutouts that break up its solid mass, creating a sense of movement and intrigue. The surface, rugged and hand-worked, bears visible weld marks that celebrate the raw, industrial beauty of steel while showcasing Balossi’s expressive touch. Rising from a sturdy flat base, the composition is punctuated by a cluster of vertical rods that introduce rhythm and balance, contrasting order with abstraction. This piece embodies the spirit of Brutalist design while marking Balossi’s exploration into sculptural form during the late 1960s — a pivotal moment in his career. At once architectural and poetic, it commands attention as both a statement artwork and a conversation piece, equally at home in a modern interior or as the focal point of a collection.
