About this artwork
Sculpture: Wood, Paint on Wood.
Northstar is a modern mixed media wall sculpture. It is made from MDF, solid black cherry wood and acrylic, finished with satin lacquer.
Northstar is a modernist, mid century inspired piece that is reminiscent of the sputnik designs of the 50's and 60's during the atomic age. As with all my work, I am fascinated by things that are both modern yet somewhat nostalgic and the piece statues that line. The clean modern… off white composition directly juxtaposes the organic feel of the wood. Slightly distressed, but not rustic, this piece feels like a heirloom that has been around for decades, but it is brand new. The monochrome inspired palette and subtle pin lines
support the retrofuturist feel of the piece. It is 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.
