Like a hidden narrative moment frozen in glazed tile, this mid-century modern panel by David Holleman invites reflection and discovery. At its core are two elegantly rendered sgraffito scenes: one portrays what appears to be a surgical tableau, while below, a psychological evaluation unfolds—both scenes etched with expressive clarity into dark tile surfaces. Above them arches a geometric motif, inscribed in delicate lines that add visual cadence and poetic restraint to the composition. Surrounding these central illustrations is a mosaic of rich, subtly varied tiles—metallic golds, vibrant glassy blues, deep reds, marbled slate, and warm terra-cotta tones coalesce into a chromatic frame of textured energy. The panel’s tactile luminosity and tonal depth transform it into not just art, but an object both visual and tactile in its presence. Framed in teak trim and bordered by a sleek black wood surround, the piece conceals its complexity within elegant mid-century lines. Signed discreetly in the lower right, and equipped with a wire on the back, the panel is ready to hang and captivate. At approximately 15.5 inches wide, 29⅜ inches high, and under two inches deep, its scale feels intimate yet commanding—compact enough for thoughtful placement yet substantial enough to anchor a vignette. It is rendered in original vintage condition, appearing beautifully preserved with no notable wear, conveying both authenticity and refined stewardship. This piece embodies a rare merger of Holleman’s technical mastery, figurative ambition, and ceramic innovation—reminiscent of his larger commissions in public and institutional spaces, though here distilled into a meticulously intimate format. Holleman’s storied career includes over 50 mosaic tile murals...
