Floral Ostrich, Angelo Accardi

"Floral Ostrich" by Angelo Accardi, a captivating work from the "Misplaced" Collection, masterfully combines industrial materials with the allure of nature. The focal point of this mixed-media sculpture is a majestic ostrich, meticulously crafted from industrial materials, providing a stark contrast to its natural counterpart. At the base of the sculpture, a symbolic inclusion is made with a can of "Artist's Shit" by the renowned Italian artist Piero Manzoni. This juxtaposition of the mechanical and the organic, coupled with the reference to Manzoni's provocative artwork, invites viewers to contemplate the intersection of art, nature, and human creativity in a visually striking manner.
