Pair of Studio Craft Movement Carved Sculptural Walnut Wall Mirrors, Mark Levin
About the Item
These stunning large wall mirrors are emblematic of the American Studio Craft Movement, showcasing the unique talent of sculptor Mark Levin, USA circa 1970s. Each piece of this pair stands as a testament to the artistry and vision that marked this era of design.
The mirrors are masterfully carved from rich walnut, a wood known for its deep, inviting tones and durability. The forms of the mirrors are meticulously sculpted, opposing each other to create an abstract representation of a kiss—a poignant allusion to Levin's inspiration, which he describes as the continuum from life's inaugural to its terminal kiss.
The space nestled between these two mirroring sculptures is just as expressive as the pieces themselves, shaping a feminine hourglass silhouette that speaks to the viewer in an intimate visual language. This negative space is a deliberate and thoughtful part of Levin's design, emphasizing the importance of both presence and absence in his work.
With anthropomorphic allure, the mirrors boast an organic and curvaceous design that flows with the natural grain of the walnut. The frames are not merely functional; they are a fluid extension of Levin's artistic narrative, their ends tapering to delicate points that punctuate the space with elegance and finesse.
The mirror glass itself is a pale bronze, a subtle choice that complements the warmth of the walnut wood. This choice of color for the glass further enhances the overall aesthetic, lending a gentle, reflective glow that enriches the ambiance of any room.
When assembled side by side as intended, the mirrors span an impressive 71 inches in height and 53 inches in width. The scale of these pieces allows them to be more than just an element of decor; they transform the wall they adorn into a gallery display.
Mark Levin, whose current base is in Albuquerque, NM, has undoubtedly created more than a pair of mirrors. These pieces are a dialogue between art and functionality, a dance of shadows and light that captures the essence of a movement dedicated to the beauty of handcrafted works and the stories they tell.

- Alan S. Kushner Studio Craft Sculptural Wall MirrorLocated in Hanover, MACustom woodwork decorative wall mirror created by artist Alan S. Kushner of Philadelphia circa 1990. Signed "AK" carved on back of bottom triangle. Overall dimensions: 72 inches high by 46 inches wide by 5 inches deep. Framed mirror dimensions: 46 inches high by 24 inches wide by 5 inches deep. Please note that the artist's intention was for the mirror to be displayed with the zebra wood arrow on the bottom pointing downward and the 'fishtail' on top. We know this because on the backside of the mirror are two wedge cut blocks for mounting in a corresponding wall bracket or Z clip. For the purposes of our photography it was not possible to stand the mirror on the point so all our photos show it upside down. Alan Kushner (1949-2008) was a self-taught woodworker and furniture maker who exhibited his designs primarily in and around Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland during the 1980's and 1990's. In 1991 he participated in the summer exhibition "In Our Circle" at the James Michener...Category
