About the Item

On the Darker Side, unique shell mirror by Shellman Scandinavia in Sweden. In the Shellman studio this frame is sometimes referred to as “The big, fat, dark, heavy one”. Yet it is so elegantly put together during a five week long process. It is extensively covered with thousands of dark shells in various sizes, each one put in its place after careful considerations. One shell, one decision. Another shell, another decision. Following the Shellman tradition of late Sydney-based shell artist Paul Bruce and Dutch shell artist Niels van Alphen, the third generation of Shellman is now based in south Sweden. In truth, Shellman is two shell men. Father Mikael Hjärtsjö and his son Buster left successful careers in advertising and at Apple respectively to create high quality, one of a kind mirror frames and sculptures, covered with treasures from sea and beach. Each work, freeform or strictly patterned, is a genuine conversation piece in its own right, following Shellman’s high ambitions to live up to the mantra: good enough is not enough. Shell art by Shellman standards is a painstakingly, yet awardingly slow and careful process that has rendered clients in the US, commission work to Sicilian palazzos and of course, Sweden. On the darker side is a prime example of how intriguing the turnout can be if you put your mind, soul and patience into a creative process. Perfectly fitted shells, no traces of glue, cool solutions, detailed expressions – this is one of Shellman’s most admired works.
