This striking large-scale wall sculpture by Jon Gilmore captures the bold, surreal spirit of 1980s postmodern design. Born in Long Beach, California, Gilmore launched his career in 1975 with modern clocks and wall décor, before joining Accessory Art Studios in California from 1978 through 1994. During the mid-1980s, he created some of his most distinctive works, including this dramatic abstract female figure rendered in shimmering metallic aluminum with layered, flowing contours and optical depth.
Measuring an impressive 72"W × 1"D × 31"H, the piece features a dynamic, wave-like silhouette in silver and deep purple-black tones, evoking a stylized, almost surreal feminine form with elegant curves and reflective surfaces that shift with the light. The material's high-shine finish gives it a glamorous, disco-era energy typical of Gilmore's innovative accessories and sculptures from this period.

Notable imperfections include: a reinforced section on the figure's chest (previously repaired to secure the element), a missing portion in the chest area ("boob piece"), a couple of light scratches on the metallic surfaces, and a slightly bent area on the lower foot. These are consistent with age and use for a piece of this scale and era, and do not detract significantly from its bold visual impact or collectible appeal. Original design, no major structural issues. A rare and conversation-starting example of Gilmore's work for Accessory Art Studios — perfect for mid-century modern, postmodern, or eclectic interiors seeking that signature 80s edge. Local pickup preferred due to size; professional white-glove shipping can be arranged at buyer's expense if needed. less
