About this artwork
This Series focuses on the combination of wood and sleek modern painted panels. I feel they are retro-futurist. The juxtaposition of the organic and warm wood grain with jutting, sharp, angular lines creates something similar to what the Mid-century modernists achieved and what is still popular in Scandinavian design (To make something organic seem very modern and space age).
I like my pieces to feel at once modern but with a nod to the past. Perhaps… the pieces suggest they were futuristic at one time, but in today's digital age, they are not.
The name Atlas refers to the Greek god who was condemned to hold up the heavens for eternity. I feel this piece suggests the strength and vertical support of that tale in its upward movement and composition.
The Art Deco inspired color palette across the series also nods to the past. Each piece is finished on the sides and wired to hang.

« I am a wood sculpture artist obsessed with form, balance, and composition in a formalist and modernist manner, working predominately with wood as a medium. »
Scott Troxel is an award-winning American artist whose pieces have been exhibited in both solo and group events nationally. Though he describes his art as non-objective, it explores concepts relating to age and time. In addition, the idea of futurism, mid-century modernism, Art Deco, and timeless aesthetics, all find a place within Troxel's work. He employs both new and repurposed materials, as well as man-made mediums such as plastic, combined with century-old wood.
