About this artwork
The piece is constructed of solid mahogany and the painted silver metallic area is finished in automotive quality metallic paint with gloss lacquer. The high gloss finish which provides elegance and contrasts greatly to the organic mahogany wood grain.
The inspiration for this piece in terms of design and color came from the mid century modern movement. I love to combine the warmth of organic wood tones with clean modern colors and lines. In this… case, the gold metallic and white tones suggest a 1950's color palette when combined with rich warm mahogany. The design harkens back to the sputnik style lighting, wall sculpture and mirrors that were popular during this time. I love to use these pieces for inspiration because they managed to look both organic and futuristic at the same time. To me the piece can be a metaphor for the business of our lives sometimes. Life can feel like everyone and everything are squeezing us and the pressure is constantly building up.
