About this artwork
Handmade in my signature reticulated style (I call it Giraffe Spots), this Les Paul–inspired guitar is covered in gloss and matte ceramic tiles, creating a fractured surface that shimmers like volcanic stone.
Each fragment of hand-cut ceramic has been meticulously placed to form a striking black-on-black tessellation, evoking cracked earth and the raw energy of amplified sound.
Unfortunately, no longer a playable instrument — this sculptural artwork… is part of my growing Reticulated Collection with more unique pieces to come.
Originally a Hohner Arbor Series electric guitar, manufactured in the 80's. It's iconic shape is instantly recognisable as fine musical heritage.
This piece captures the raw energy and rebellious spirit of music through a bold ceramic mosaic. I poured my passion into every fragmented detail, blending art brut’s rough edge with pop art’s vibrant pulse.
