Bronze sculpture with a graffitied structure by Jean-Jacques Mancardi
Unique artwork
Dimensions: 45 x 17 x 26 cm
This work by artist Jean-Jacques MANCARDI is a tribute to the early graffiti artists of the 1980s, who spent their days decorating urban spaces in the streets of New York.
More broadly, Mancardi’s bronze sculptures powerfully capture the dignity of construction workers. Through their robust silhouettes, he honors those who shaped New York and Manhattan in the early 20th century. The patinated bronze evokes both the harshness of the worksite and the strength of their legacy. Mancardi often adds a modern touch by integrating graffiti, an urban nod to the city as it is today. This blend of classical sculpture and street art makes his works a living and distinctly contemporary memory.
