About this artwork
"Outlier" is a modern, minimalist, wood wall sculpture made from birch, washed and metallic acrylic and finished with furniture wax. The paint has been sanded back on the edges of the shapes to provide an elegant "outline" of the individual pieces which are mounted on a metallic gold backer. The gold shows through between the pieces and in the negative space. This piece started in 2018 and I grew frustrated with the piece. I set it aside and recently…
discovered it behind some other pieces in the studio. With fresh eyes I pulled it out and finalized it in 2020. The name "Outlier" comes from the fact that I traditionally do not work in a black monochromatic palette (This is my only piece in solid black), so it is perhaps a slight variation of my normal work which was two years in the making. The result I think, is an elegant, striking and introspective piece which can command the space with a modern chic.

« 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.
