The exposed pieces of art highlight his work by mixing imaginary cars and real ones with his models of Mercedes. His racing cars with evasive and stylised lines seem to have been stopped in full speed. The polished bronze with different patinas and the granite highlight the strength of his sculptures.

Life and work of Emmanuel Zurini
The Galery in ARTNET
With an incredible intelligence of lines and shapes Enmanuel Zurini sculpts cars, planes and off-shore ships, trapping in the matter his passion: Speed. He possesses, undeniably, a great taste for beauty. Coming directly from his imagination, or inspired by wonderful bodyworks drawings, his sculptures are great anecdotes. He shows what is essential, the spirit of a car itself, showing clearly its strength and elegance.

He uses two types of fine materials in block, marble and granite, a delicate technical exercise.
When he uses the stone cutters tools he does it with obsession and mercilessness, with the perfection of the volumes and pure lines, simplified with a tendency to use nervous horizontal lines, refining patiently the outlines, polishing the surfaces, as if to give the matter the transparency of a soul, taking care thoroughly of the smelting, rubbing the golden parts in order to obtain a mysterious shape.
Born in 1942, he starts his career when he was over 30 with a quick appearance. Jean Pierre Beltoise is starting his passion for speed and racing circuits. It is him who, in 1965, will offer Enmanuel Zurini his first camera. Very soon he is renowned as one of the best photographers of the Grand Prix Automobile.
Requested abroad, anywhere his works were exposed, he has been making for several years trophies such as lAutomovil Magazine à Paris or the Pebble Beach Concours dElegance in the United States.
Always with lots of projects in mind, Enmanuel Zurini, dedicated exclusively to sculpture, is planning the making of a monumental sculpture.
A great enthusiast...
