Large Brutalist Fish Sculpture by Jules De Waele for Pia Manu, 1973

About This Piece

Vintage Design

This handmade wall sculpture 'Fish' by Belgian artist Jules De Waele was produced by Pia Manu in 1973. This unique sculpture is carved from a large piece of natural stone and decorated with glass and concrete. The piece has been signed by the artist and Pia Manu.

The most stunning part of this sculpture are the large eyes, which have been made out of different pieces of glass. When the sunlight shines true the eye it reveals an amazing amount of colors, and then you can see that trail of glass under the eye has the same color patterns as the glass used inside the eye.
