About the Item
George F. Welch (1926 - 2003) designed this lovely Mid-Century modernist enamel on copper artwork. The large square enameled plaque is wall-mounted and framed. The artwork boasts an Abstract and Brutalist design with Hebrew fonts and numbers on the top. The plaque has an inscribed Welch signature toward the bottom right corner. An original paper label providing the artist's statement is at the back under the protection paper. Please note the circular dents visible on both bottom angles seem intentional by the artist (please read the biography for an explanation).
This piece is framed in a contemporary style using metallic wood, brushed, silvered, and complimented with an almond green and off-white matte.
Measurements:
Frame size: 23 in wide (58.5 cm) x 23 in high (58.5 cm)
Plaque size: 16 in wide (40.5 cm) x 16 in high (40.5 cm).
Note:
George F. Welch 1926-2003
Welch said he became interested in enameling after taking a jewelry-making course at University College in the 1950s. He stated, "Enamel is often used to enhance jewelry pieces by adding color, so I decided to try it with larger metal pieces."
A native of New Briton, Connecticut, Welch came to Syracuse after graduating from the School of the Worcester (Mass.) Art Museum, the Hartford Art School, and four years as a Marine Corps artist.
As an artist, he finds his work rewarding.
Creating enamel is my greatest pleasure, he says. He goes on to explain that the uniqueness of the process is exciting, and it just cannot be found in painting.
He explains that the method involves applying enamels tinted by oxides to a metal surface. Usually, I use copper, but silver, aluminum, gold, or stainless steel are other options.
The enamels, done by George F. Welch, are abstract works on copper, framed for hanging.
Welch was a full-time artist who painted and sculpted, considering his enamels a Fine Arts medium. He worked on flat copper, firing it repeatedly for desired effects and experimenting with oxides and tones.
According to him, his first idea is only partially realized, but as the project develops, the design is strengthened by the addition of colors and textures.
When finished, he gives it a title, usually on a nature theme, which allows people to relate to it. His enamel works are striking. The textures, colors, and design almost jump from the wall. Welch has a bold, direct style of handling the medium, using color with three-dimensional effects.
The designs are impressive, sometimes accentuated by bending the flat copper or hammering three circular bumps. Additionally, some external components are incorporated, like thumbtacks, which produce a lovely spatial structure.
The textures and colors have an emotional substance: they reach out to the viewer. Welch used the enameling media with impressive results.
