An Italian wall panel by Gianni Pinna, hand-carved in the 1970s. Just over 30 inches tall, the plank is worked in deep relief with geometric motifs cut by the sculptor’s hand and softened by a rich, warm patina. Designed without a fixed orientation, it can be hung vertically or horizontally, displayed alone or as a pair. A striking, textural statement that reads as both artwork and architectural element.Sold and priced individually.Gianni Pinna (1934–2016) was born in Guspina, Sardinia, and trained in sculpture at the art schools of Turin and Milan. Beginning in the 1970s, he exhibited widely across Italy and abroad, with early shows in San Francisco at the Feingarten Galleries (1976–77). His practice bridged fine art and design, with sculptural forms often translated into furniture and architectural elements.A member of the Codi-Art Group alongside Pedro Fiori and Salvador Presta, Pinna’s work has been documented in leading design journals and is held in both Italian and international collections. In 2008, he was recognized with the Arts and Culture Prize, marking his lasting contribution to 20th-century Italian art and design.Condition: Great vintage condition. Surface shows light wear and subtle scratches consistent with age and use. The carved details remain sharp, with a rich patina enhancing the relief. Hardware for vertical hanging is affixed to the reverse.
