The Golden Eye

Stamped by artist on verso. A multi-point mirror with convex mirror, with the frame wrapped in Engelhart's 'Moonstone' porphyry-inspired, hand-painted paper. From architectural follies of the eighteenth-century to crystalline rock formations, Thomas Engelhart translates the angles and polished surfaces of ancient artifacts into hand-painted paper objects. A Charleston, South Carolina native, Engelhart began his career in fashion, studying at Studio Berçot in Paris in the 1990s.
