About the Item

Hailing from the wild coastal edges of Australia, multidisciplinary artist Wesley Smith works at the confluence of paleontology, myth, and radical contemporary aesthetics. Blue Reverie #3 exemplifies his ability to blur the boundaries between artifact and icon, science and ritual. At the heart of this singular sculpture lies a meticulously reproduced Pachycephalosaurus skull — a creature from the Late Cretaceous period, symbol of endurance and enigma. Smith submerges the form entirely in Klein blue pigment, that luminous ultramarine synonymous with spiritual intensity and aesthetic absolutes. The result is more than a visual intervention — it is an act of transformation. The skull becomes a totemic object, at once prehistoric and futuristic. Radiating both pop sensibility and post-anthropocenic urgency, Blue Reverie #3 invites reflection on extinction, memory, and the human need to mythologize. Blue Reverie #3 is a sculptural manifesto, a relic of imagined cosmologies, and a mesmerizing focal point for collectors of the bold, the conceptual, and the iconoclastic.
