Chris Petersen Sculpture Trio: Cat, Pelican and Owl

About the Item

Elevate your space with the whimsical charm of this trio of 1970s signed Chris Petersen cast aluminum sculptures - cat, owl and rare pelican. In the 1970s, artists began to embrace aluminum as a vibrant and innovative medium, transforming the landscape of contemporary sculpture. As a lightweight, yet durable material, aluminum allowed for bold experimentation and unconventional forms, enabling artists to push the boundaries of traditional sculpture. Pioneers like Petersen explored aluminum’s reflective qualities, playing with light and shadow to create dynamic visual effects. The versatility of aluminum also encouraged the integration of industrial techniques and processes, bridging the gap between fine art and design. As artists sought new ways to engage viewers and redefine artistic expression, aluminum sculptures became a hallmark of the era, reflecting the zeitgeist of experimentation and innovation in the art world.
