Mid Century Modern Mixed Media Large Scale Cityscape Artwork in Suede and Steel

About the Item

If Gotham City and a Pierre Cardin fever dream had a love child, it would be this stunning 1970s mixed media artwork. At a striking 48.5 x 48.5 inches, this piece is big, bold, and brimming with postmodern attitude—perfect for anyone who appreciates a little architectural drama in their décor. Let’s break it down. Seven skyscrapers, all fanned out like a very chic bundle of metallic French fries, rise up from the bottom of the artwork in layers of brushed stainless steel and deep gunmetal accents. These steel monoliths have depth, texture, and just the right amount of shine, giving the entire piece a three-dimensional, sculptural effect. The background? A rich cognac suede that sets the tone with warmth and depth. And then there’s the sky—if that’s what we’re calling it. A geometric, almost rectangular shape hovers above, starting as a large block in the left center before tapering into a sleek, elongated form stretching across the piece. This celestial element is crafted in dark gray suede, with a sharp black suede bisecting stripe, and a lighter gray suede below—because why settle for one shade of sky when you can have a gradient moment? Signed in the lower right corner (possibly “Camino”?), this artwork carries an aesthetic reminiscent of Paul Evans meets Pierre Cardin meets a futuristic cityscape on the cover of a 1970s sci-fi novel. It’s giving bold, brutalist, and impeccably crafted. It would be right at home in any mid-century modern, modern, or postmodern space, elevating your walls with a layered, textural masterpiece that’s equal parts architectural and avant-garde. This isn’t just wall art. It’s a skyline, a mood, a whole vibe.

Paul Evans Burl and Chrome Cityscape Credenza, Directional, Signed, 1970s
By Paul Evans
Located in Culver City, CA
This credenza is absolutely stunning! Paul Evans Cityscape line is a furniture collection that was designed by American sculptor and furniture designer Paul Evans in the 1970s. The Cityscape line is characterized by its geometric forms, mixed materials, and bold, textured finishes. Paul Evans was renowned for his innovative use of metals and his mastery of the sculpting and welding techniques required to create these types of unique designs. He combined different materials like burl and chrome-- in this piece to create stunning pieces of furniture that were functional works of art. Paul Evans Cityscape line pieces are highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts alike, and are considered iconic examples of Mid-Century Modern furniture design. Paul Evans (1931-1987) was an American artist, sculptor, and furniture designer who is best known for his unique and highly sought-after modern and Brutalist furniture designs from the mid-20th century. Born in Pennsylvania, Evans began his career as a metalworker, first studying at the School for American Craftsmen in Rochester, New York and later at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. He then went on to work for several different furniture manufacturers before eventually founding his own studio in the mid-1950s. Throughout his career, Evans was known for his innovative use of metals and his mastery of sculpting and welding techniques. He created furniture that was both functional and artistic, with a strong emphasis on texture and surface treatments. His signature designs often featured geometric forms, mixed materials, and bold finishes, and were highly influential in the development of Mid-Century Modern design. Evans' work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. His furniture is highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts, and remains an important part of the Mid-Century Modern design movement. This credenza would look incredible in any Mid-Century Modern, modern or contemporary environment. We currently have this credenza paired with a Milo Baughman burl dining table. When this piece is in the room, it steals the show. We had this piece featured in our booth at Round Top with a Rafael Raffel...
