About the Item
Aluminum sheet, metal wire and acrylic - mobile
Amaury Maillet is a self-taught artist who explored art in Provence and Saint Martin in his childhood. He honed his drawing, painting, and sculpture skills under the guidance of his great-uncle, a friend of Calder, absorbing a taste for geometric abstraction and purity. Despite pursuing studies in the hospitality industry, Maillet returned to his passion for art later in life, creating intricate mobiles that reflect maturity and precision.
His works captivate with their complex yet poetic structures, inviting contemplation.
Maillet's technique is flawless, echoing Calder's mobiles but with his distinctive touch.
Inspired by nature's Fibonacci sequence and logarithmic spirals, his mobiles mirror the mathematical harmony found in the natural world.
Drawing from his childhood memories of fauna and flora, Maillet mobiles evoke a sense of freedom and lightness, responding dynamically to the wind's whims. In contrast to static sculptures, his creations engage in a playful dance with nature, embodying a harmonious interplay between man-made geometry and natural forces.

"The Playful Journey" Acrylic on Copper Abstract Composition 1997
By Stephen Schulz
Located in Soquel, CA
Bold and dynamic abstract composition titled "The Playful Journey" by Stephen Schulz (American, b. 1948). Schulz has used various types of acrylic paint, mixed with silicon to create a variety of textures. Signed and dated "Schulz 97" on verso, with an inscription that reads "For Leo and his Beautiful Family". Wood support frame on verso.
Stephen Schulz (American, b. 1948) is an artist who has lived and worked in Fresno and Santa Cruz, California, and Cedar Grove, New Jersey. He has studied privately with Julie Connell, Jan Daniels, Michele Faia, Elle Fielder, Sal Pecoraro, Susan Stover, and Chris Volpe.
Artist’s Statement:
“My painting and artistic expression opens the doorway into an unconscious and creative world, where an uninhibited expression can take place, as one becomes immersed without the perception of time.
Painting and design started it. From the beginning the process of transforming materials into art has struck me as a magical alchemy and, over the years, that mysterious process has had its hold on me, leading me from hobby to art. The creative process fills me with a sense of wonder and has proven a most amenable vehicle for transforming inner vision to outer reality.
I paint from the inside out. Though I work quite deliberately, consciously employing both traditional and innovative techniques, my unconscious is the region of the most fertile of creative soil.
I love working with a full complement of colors but often find my design direction working within the narrow spectrum of black and white, shadow and light. Some of my early inspiration comes from the New York School and artists such as Franz Kline and Jackson Pollock. Their ideas and techniques have helped to free my mind to explore areas of the unconscious that aren’t restricted by the world of right and wrong, good and bad. The journey continues and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to explore this exquisite world of the creative process.”
