About the Item
Susy Hunziker's metal figures are the result of exploring form, colors, and feelings, and reflect a love of life and aesthetics. Rust brown iron wire is wound meticulously in varying thicknesses, creating abstract sculptural figures. Her work is reminiscent of an appreciation for life’s delicacy, human fragility and an aesthetic awareness of change over time.
This unique iron wire figure is 18 inches high by 6 inches wide and 6 inches deep. The figure perches atop a wooden base. Size and price include the wooden base. This one-of-a-kind sculpture can be displayed on any flat surface. Convenient local Los Angeles area shipping. Affordable Continental and International shipping are also available. This artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery.
Swiss artist Suzy Hunziker pursues a deepened analysis of figurative compositions and expresses an overall curiosity for form and figure. Her sculptures integrate staticity and movement as well as lightness of matter. “What began as a hobby about ten years with papier-mâché has become my passion. Today I create finished sculptures from wire and paper. With these materials I try to express different emotions. The result is sad, cheeky, curious or even frivolous.” From a simple material, Hunziker sculpts different characters in expressive states of being: dancers, lovers, individuals stretching, crouching, or recumbent. They balance precariously atop small blocks on a thin leg, held rigid by the strength of Hunziker’s composition.

- Sujoon - Haint Blues - Large Sculputural Original Three-Dimensional Wall ArtBy Atticus AdamsLocated in Los Angeles, CAAtticus Adams' organically composed modern metal sculptures embody the transformative power of contemporary wall art, illustrating the creation of beauty, meaning, and emotional impact from industrial materials. Using mostly aluminum mesh—generally found in screen doors, windows, and filters—he creates contemporary abstract sculptural artworks and installations, which resemble flowers, clouds, and other natural phenomena. Working in metal, Adams effortlessly transforms rigid material into airy, effervescent artworks. This circular 60-inch high by 60-inch wide and 4-inch deep metal sculpture is a lightweight form created from aluminum mesh, gesso, acrylic paint, and wire. It has metal rings affixed on the back which allows for easy installation. Atticus works spontaneously, feeling his way toward the objects that take shape in his mind as he shapes them almost entirely by hand. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Atticus grew up in West Virginia, steeped in traditional folk art. Several members of his family are self-taught artists, deeply involved in such crafts as wood carving and quilting. His formal art training includes stints at Yale, Rhode Island School of Design, and Harvard’s School of Architecture. Atticus has fond summer memories of screened-in porches back home and screen doors that practically dissolved the barrier between inside and outside, allowing the warmth and nature to permeate each day. This association continues to resonate in his art. “Metal mesh is a beautiful, flexible material that allows you to explore shadow and transparency in endless ways,” he says. “The material lends itself to these biomorphic shapes, which aren’t necessarily intentional . . . The sculptures seem fragile but are actually quite resilient—like nature itself.” A well-known sculptor, the organically inspired artworks of Atticus Adams are held in public and private collections and are exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States.
