Seller's client purchased this sculpture directly from Mark Hilley on the Santa Barbara Art Walk in 2000 and had been close friends with Mark since they bought their first peices from him in 1986. Mark, being a very humble artist, never signed any of his pieces and all purchases were in cash so there was no receipt making provenance difficult. The beauty, sheer size and complexity of this piece speaks for itself!
This piece is made with Glass & Stainless Steel, mounted on a hidden wood base.
Large and striking wall art sculpture by Mark Hilley, acclaimed Santa Barbara artist known for innovative mixed media creations. The piece, entitled "Dragon's Tail," is crafted from stainless steel and glass with a dramatic, flowing design, and measures approximately 48 inches tall by 20 inches wide. The dimensional layers create captivating shadows and depth, making this a standout focal piece for any contemporary or modern space. Artwork was originally displayed at the Santa Barbara Art Walk in the 2000s. Estimated weight is 30-40 pounds, constructed for sturdy wall mounting. Please review all photos for close-up details.
