About the Item

An exceptional rectangular and asymmetrical wall-sculpture mirror, Brutalist, large vertical rectangular frame in bronze or patinated brass, with 2 welded asymmetrical inserts arranged in secondary frames: - at the top left, a half-hemisphere in "organic" ceramic perforated like foam with multicolored gradations. - at the bottom in the center, a rectangle generously re-framed by visible welds with the hollow mirror. The set is signed on the top side with a Perillaud stamp, unique piece by the artist Jean Perillaud, France 1970-1980. This wall work, which is similar to a bas-relief, is characterized by the rigor of its composition, geometric and quasi-architectural, counterbalanced by the quality as raw as organic - and yet very precise - of its finishes (lumpy welds and gilded around the rectangular perimeter of the gilt bronze/brass frame, metal welds becoming asymmetrical graphic elements around the inserts, and finally, this circular and porous ceramic in multiple colors, of great finesse, which evokes a cell, an organ stylized or a stylized star...). These elements, iron and ceramic, in apparent fusion, bring a cosmic, even esoteric dimension to this mirror. And it is the reflection of the viewer of the work that completes the beauty of the whole. Wonderful! This is an exceptional piece shaped by hand, unique like all the works of Jean Perillaud, signed with a superb stamp on the top of the frame. It is as solid as it is fragile (the ceramic included is in perfect condition but very fragile and requires particularly careful packaging for the transport of this work). This piece should be considered as a work of art in its own right, in line with the great mirror designers of the second half of the 20th century (Line Vautrin, Roland Zobel... etc!).
