About the Item

Artist Commentary: Art pieces utilizing reclaimed wood seem to be reasonably common, however, I wanted to try something different and incorporate some finesse into the finishing and shaping. I stumbled across some cypress at a nearby antique store and after considerable thought came up with this design. The reclaimed sections juxtapose well with the sculpted copper-leafed sections and the orange edges really accentuate the curves. Keywords: abstract, textural, reclaimed, salvaged, red, orange Artist Biography: Marty's aim is to take his woodworking experience and apply it to art. Typically, this will involve wood as his foundation as he explores its various properties either for visual, textural or constructive purposes. Other augmentation with materials, mediums or treatments will usually follow, all with the intended purpose of increasing accessibility for art-lovers.

  • American Contemporary Sculpture by Scott Troxel - Ultra Marine
    By Scott Troxel
    Located in Paris, IDF
    Artwork made with birch, acrylic, satin lacquer & metallic gold venetian plaster UltraMarine is a mixed media wall sculpture. Made from acrylic washes on birch, MDF and gold metallic Venetian plaster paint. Finished with an elegant satin clear lacquer to enhance the wood grain. The multiple opacities of navy and indigo are almost denim-like in color and allow the brown wood grain to add texture and interest to the piece. Ultramarine takes on the abstract form of a soaring building or perhaps a church spire or other tall building in form. Ultramarine is a monochromatic piece which is minimalistic in nature, so the form, composition and the balance of the piece trump a definitive subject matter. However, the shape is reminesent of mid-century modernism, the sputnik design movement and futurism. The result is an elegant wall sculpture...
