About the Item
This monumental circular sculpture by Tom Phardel exemplifies his mastery of surface, form, and material. Circa 1990s. Crafted from richly textured ceramic and integrated mixed-media elements, the work features an open-ring composition with intricate ridges, perforations, and organic fissures that evoke both geological formations and ancient artifacts. Earthy tones of ochre, sienna, and deep umber are accented with subtle green patina-like details, enhancing its weathered, timeworn aesthetic. This postmodern piece reflects Phardel’s ability to merge architectural structure with raw, tactile expressiveness, resulting in a work that is both contemporary in vision and timeless in presence. From a private collection. Dimensions: 44”h x 44”w x 8”d. In very good vintage condition. Full condition reports are available upon request.
Tom Phardel (1950- ) is a Detroit-based American artist of Sicilian descent, renowned for his sculptural ceramics and mixed-media works that often explore the passage of time and spiritual themes. His pieces have been collected by prominent institutions including the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Dennos Museum Center. Phardel’s work is celebrated for its textural richness, archaeological undertones, and sculptural integrity within the canon of contemporary American ceramics.
