About the Item

HUGO G. URRUTIA B. 1974, Mexico Hugo G. Urrutia is a multidisciplinary artist-designer, interested in the cross-pollination between art and architecture. His artwork challenges the notion of what constitutes a piece of art. A graduate and active member of the Architectural Association in the United Kingdom, Urrutia’s work creates a distinct spatiality located at the interstice of art and architecture. His work explores and uses technology for design and fabrication, with a sensitive and conscious reminder of the creativity of human endeavor. Urrutia graduated from the Architectural Association in 2013, earning a Master of Architecture in the Design & Make programme. In 2000, he graduated from Texas Tech University, with a Bachelor of Architecture and Design and received the 2000 Outstanding Thesis Award. In 2004, he founded Decorazon Gallery in Dallas’ Bishop Arts District where he curated and exhibited numerous art exhibitions for national and international artists. His personal artwork has been exhibited worldwide. Urrutia is interested in conveying a strong concept and exploring different mediums by presenting his message in a very indirect format, while creating visual simulation for the viewer. His latest series titled Flexible Rigids, explores sculptural forms that simulate smooth harmonic movements of a flexible surface, initiating the process from a “rigid “surface. "Using nature and geometry as a starting point, I am interested in the notion of a wave, a synchronized flock of birds, a silk fabric soothingly moving with the wind. Then I challenge myself to try to mimic these noble forms…This series derives from repetitiveness of a simple component like the triangle. As a whole, it produces a sort of wavy effect in which I can play with the shades and shadows. By cutting a simple rigid coloured plane in a precise way, my “canvas” becomes sculptural and organic...”

From Dusk To Dawn - Sculptural Geometric Abstract Metallic Wood Wall Artwork
By Hugo Urrutia
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Hugo Urrutia’s “From Dusk to Dawn” is a masterful 29-inch high by 38-inch wide sculptural wall artwork, crafted with meticulous precision using oil lacquer paint on carved Baltic birch. Part of his acclaimed “Flexible Rigids” series, this work challenges the boundaries between rigid geometry and fluid motion, transforming a structured surface into a captivating, undulating form. Urrutia’s innovative approach to sculptural abstraction and his ability to evoke natural harmony through architectural precision make this artwork ideal for collectors of modern wall sculptures, geometric art, and unique design-inspired pieces. In “From Dusk to Dawn”, Urrutia builds a mesmerizing composition of repeating triangular modules, meticulously carved to create a dynamic wave-like effect across the surface. The artwork’s deep red gradient transitions from darker tones at the top to vibrant crimson hues at the base, suggesting a natural progression reminiscent of twilight giving way to morning light. The carved facets interact beautifully with light, producing subtle shifts in shadows, reflections, and tones that shift as the viewer changes perspective. The repetitive geometric pattern creates both rhythm and structure, while the gentle curvature of the surface adds an organic flow, echoing Urrutia’s inspiration from natural phenomena like rippling water, wind-blown fabric, or synchronized flocks of birds. The contrast between the bold, rich hues and the natural wood accents further enhances the sculpture’s modern elegance, making it a striking centerpiece for contemporary interiors and architectural spaces. Key Features: Original artwork: Sculptural wall art crafted with carved Baltic birch and oil lacquer paint Dimensions: 29 inches high by 38 inches wide; 5 inches deep Design concept: “Flexible Rigids” series, transforming rigid geometry into flowing, harmonic forms Visual impact: Rich red gradient with natural wood accents and dynamic triangular carvings Display: Signed by the artist on the back; no framing required Certificate of authenticity included with purchase Delivery: Free local Los Angeles area delivery; affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available Hugo Urrutia, a multidisciplinary artist and architect, explores the intersection of art, design, and technology in his sculptural works. Inspired by natural movement and architectural precision, Urrutia’s pieces evoke the beauty of harmony, rhythm, and balance. A graduate of the prestigious Architectural Association in London, Urrutia has exhibited his works worldwide, solidifying his reputation as a visionary artist who redefines the relationship between art and space. “From Dusk to Dawn” is a stunning exploration of geometry, color, and form, seamlessly blending organic flow with architectural structure. Ideal for modern interiors, creative workspaces, or gallery walls, this one-of-a-kind sculpture transforms its environment with a dynamic energy and sophisticated elegance. Collectors seeking art that embodies innovation, movement, and timeless design will find “From Dusk to Dawn” an exceptional addition to their collection.
