Mid-Century Brutalist Christ Carrying the Cross Sculpture | Papier-Mâché & Wood | Religious Art
Description
Powerful mid-century religious sculpture depicting Christ carrying the Cross, executed in a raw, expressive Brutalist style. The figure is hand-constructed using papier-mâché, carved wood, and stone, emphasizing emotional intensity over classical refinement.
Christ is shown bearing a heavy wooden cross, crowned with sharply rendered thorns, his features deliberately simplified and forceful. The sculpture is mounted on a naturalistic stone base, with visible hand-crafted construction elements typical of post-war devotional and studio religious works.
This piece aligns with mid-20th-century modern sacred art traditions seen in Southern Europe and Latin America, where Brutalist aesthetics were often applied to religious subjects for dramatic and spiritual effect.
A compelling statement sculpture with strong presence, suitable for collectors of religious art, Brutalist sculpture, or dramatic interior display.
