About the Item

Original sculptural wall art by artist Jean Olds. Brutalist in style and construction against a burlap background. Mixed media, combining various wooden elements and nails. The composition is abstract, with different pieces of wood layered and arranged in a seemingly random yet deliberate manner. The dark, weathered wood contrasts with the lighter, natural wood tones, creating a dynamic visual texture. The presence of nails adds an industrial feel, suggesting themes of construction, deconstruction, or perhaps decay and reclamation. The background is a textured, burlap-like fabric, which enhances the rustic and tactile quality of the piece. Overall, this artwork evokes a sense of history and transformation, and the repurposing of materials. Signed by Olds on the back and dated 1974 though it is quite faint. In overall good vintage condition with some wear consistent with age and use. Dimensions: 15.25” W x 6.5” D x 25” H
