About the Item

Abstract Hanging Sculpture - Triangle by Mickey "Kano" Kane (American, 1939-2002). This striking piece can be viewed from both sides. It is composed of two separate triangles which align along the middle. On both sides the wood is finished with a multicolored shimmering patina. The primary color of this finish is a warm brown but there are details of purple and magenta throughout it. The piece features organic cut outs on both the triangles which complement the wavy and textured edge. On one side, the bottom of the pieces contain inlays filled with highly textured red paper pulp. On the other side, there are inlays throughout the wood which are filled with deep purples. The edge of the piece is covered in a thick polymer in white, pink, and purple. There are also holes running along the outside edges, adding to the visual interest. Overall size: 49"H x 24"W Piece is in two parts, each are 49" in height and 12" across. Both triangles have holes along the top for hanging. Mickey “Kano” Kane (American, 1939-2002) was born in Illinois and grew up in Sacramento, CA. Kane moved to the Pacific Coast and worked on mixed media panels - which he would refer to as a “Totem” – and detailed collage compositions. His collage work is generally satirical or critical in nature, frequently dealing with themes of money, capitalism, government, power, and debt. By contrast, his “Totem” sculptural work is abstract and free of direct symbolism, focusing instead on the aesthetics of the composition. Original Member, Artist’s Cooperative Gallery Artist’s Statement: The Totem is indicative of the unfolding 21st Century, graphically and metaphorically. It is neither one side nor the other, nor does one side challenge or compete with the other. Each side cooperates and thus enhances the other so that both "sides" transcend that definition into a composition revealing that, indeed, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The Totem reflects the inner harmony that all sides, whether two or two thousand, are striving to manifest in their own inimitable way.
