Description
A modern brutalist bronze wall sculpture titled "Citizens" by South African artist Giovanni Schoeman. Created in 1974. From a private collection. Dimensions: 18.5"h x 54.25"w x 2.25"w (framed). In very good vintage condition.
This sculptural wall relief presents a rhythmic procession of abstracted human figures, their textured forms simplified into elongated silhouettes with subtle variations of gesture and stance. The figures are arranged side by side in a continuous frieze, evoking unity, community, and collective identity. The sculpture’s Brutalist aesthetic is reinforced through the raw, tactile surfaces of the bronze, contrasting against the warm fabric backing and sleek frame. It reflects Schoeman's ability to merge social commentary with striking modern design, making it both a visually powerful artwork and a rare collectible from his oeuvre.
Giovanni Schoeman (1940-1981) was a South African-born sculptor celebrated for his technical innovation and modernist vision. Trained in Johannesburg, Groningen, London, and Milan, he gained international recognition for helping pioneer the Cold Cast Resin Metal technique, which expanded the possibilities of contemporary sculpture. His work was widely exhibited and collected during his career, establishing him as a distinctive voice in 20th-century modern and Brutalist art.
