Iron Blossom A Mid-Century Copper and Iron Sculpture

$280.00

8 1/4”W x 15 1/2”H x 8”D

A captivating relic from the mid-century, this unsigned sculpture exemplifies the raw, expressive aesthetic of Brutalist metalwork. Constructed from welded and torch-cut sheets of brass and bronze, with possible steel or iron support, the piece presents a striking interplay of textures and tones. The textured, oxidized surface reveals the hand of the artist through the deliberate use of torch work and brazing, resulting in a layered patina that shifts between darkened areas and rich golden hues. This nuanced finish is a product of both natural oxidation and intentional heat patination, a testament to the artist's mastery of material manipulation. The visible, hand-welded joints along the seams underscore the sculpture's handcrafted nature, a celebration of the unrefined. This piece serves as a compelling reminder of an era when artists embraced the inherent beauty of industrial materials and sought to create works that were both visually arresting and intellectually engaging. A provocative addition to any design collection.
