Each piece attaches to the wall using a handfull of screws, Born in Transylvania, Karoy Kovacs attended a fine art school from the fifth grade going on to obtain a Master in Fine Arts diploma. In the US he is represented by Elena Bulatova Fine Art in Palm Springs. Presenting a wide spectrum of site-specific commissioned public/private sculptures, paintings and functional art, as well as self-initiated projects/concepts. These realistic or abstract artworks are finalized in bronze, aluminum, resin, terracotta, etc. The size varies from small to monumental depending on placement: indoors, outdoors, fountains, non-figurative installations, etc. As transition from bi-dimensional to tri-dimensional artworks, this genre requires a profound knowledge and understanding of sculpting. These forms emerging from the surface require an experienced eye and highly skilled sculpting abilities to generate a coherent artwork.

Alan S. Kushner Studio Craft Sculptural Wall Mirror
Located in Hanover, MA
Custom 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...
