About the Item

Decorative wall sculpture from the 1970s. The 'work is by artist and creator Stephen Chun. The work is mounted from a metal panel where his artwork is later applied. The sculpture is made of different metals, such as bronze, brass, and copper, which is later applied to the wall brush. The technique is obviously Brutalist where each of his individual objects was worked by hand and not finished definitively. Each work is unique but clearly recognizable because of his distinctive style and method. This makes his works, usually unsigned, easily identifiable and collectible. One can very well distiguish the rosette and its copper side pens , details seen in his other works. Chun studied at the Taipei School of Art, graduating in the late 1960s. He was very interested in metalworking. Moving to his native Hong Kong, he began producing a series of brutalist sculptural works in the early 1970s. He worked with stainless steel, copper and brass, bending and treating them with various tools, flashlights, drills, punches and etching solutions, before shaping them on plywood forms and creating assemblages. Chun's work is only now gaining the recognition and appreciation it deserves as part of the Brutalist architectural and decorative movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. His work is similar to that of Paul Evans. Admirers of Brutalism and 1970s homeowners are avid collectors of his work. His work was popular with Australian tourists traveling to Hong Kong in the 1970s and likewise with U.S. mainland visitors to Hawaii. Australia, Taiwan, and the United States have thus emerged as the key markets where his work has recently been appreciated.
