Cocatrix – Bronze Sculpture2011

Bellino’s Cocatrix is a unique contemporary bronze sculpture representing a gold dragon made of antique bronze ornaments that are welded together in a meticulous fashion. With heavy “Renaissance” innuendos, his work approaches our concept of “existence” and “reality.” Bellino questions the viewer’s awareness and convictions about the boundaries of “life and death”, “desire and fear” and “science and faith” as the sculptures he creates harness a beauty and intensity that speaks to the delicacy of the human experience, exhibiting the fragility of our own biological existence. Dimensions: H. 45in x W. 27in x D. 29in
