Contemporary Abstract Bronze Sculpture, 'Nucleus 1' by Charles Splady

About the Item

"Nucleus 1" is a small yet potent sculpture from Charles Splady’s Energy Center series, designed as an artistic generator to evoke and concentrate creative energy. Handcrafted from bronze, this abstract piece embodies Splady's exploration of form as a source of inspiration and power. The sculpture's compact size contrasts with its conceptual depth, inviting viewers to experience the dynamic essence of an energy center within their own space. Nucleus 1 serves as both a contemplative object and a conduit of creative force. This piece ships directly from the artist's studio in California.
