About the Item

Kerf V Granite/pigmented and sealed steel 12" (height) x 14" (width) x 5" (depth) Stone and metal, usually granite or slate, and found object steel are central in my sculpture. The interaction of these materials is a major focus. On the most basic level, the work is about the marriage of the natural with the human-made. Stone is used as an assemblage element, the way a welder uses steel, rather than in the traditional manner of subtraction. In contrast to the timelessness of stone, the found-object metal (sometimes cast bronze) is time-specific -20th-century industrial. The industrial/structural characteristics inherent in the metal are often employed to physically connect or suspend stone elements allowing a "choreographing" or "floating" of stone. At their best, a compelling visual/physical irony is created. The works strive to communicate on a number of different levels; physical, symbolic, and metaphorical. The duality of an eastern or oriental acceptance of stone and a 20th century industrial American “can do” attitude toward metal is central to the work and an important characteristic that distinguishes it." - John Van Alstine This sculpture will be shipped directly from the artist's studio.

By Scott Troxel
Located in Paris, IDF
Zephyr Wood, paint, lacquer on MDF + birch on MDF with enamel & wax finish 24" x 24” x 1” Zephyr II is a mixed media wall sculpture. Made from oils on birch, wax, MDF and copper spray enamel. Finished with a hand waxed process. Zephyr II is a complex and sophisticated monochromatic piece which is minimalistic in nature, so the form, composition and the balance of the artwork trumps any definitive subject matter. With flowing Art Deco inspired lines and midcentury feel, Zephyr feels at once modern and retro. The bold copper background...
