This striking mid-century modern carved wood wall relief depicts a procession of nude Greco-Roman–inspired athletes captured in dynamic motion. Executed in deep relief, the figures display exceptional anatomical detail and sculptural depth, demonstrating the artist’s confident hand and modernist sensibility.
Carved from solid wood and mounted within its original frame, the composition evokes classical Olympic imagery while remaining distinctly mid-century in form and spirit. The warm patina and dimensional carving allow light and shadow to play beautifully across the surface, giving the piece strong architectural presence when installed.
Signed and dated 1965 by the artist, this is a highly decorative yet serious sculptural work—ideal for collectors of modernist art or designers seeking a bold statement piece for a refined interior.
Perfect for mid-century modern, Palm Springs modern, Miami modern, or contemporary spaces. Works exceptionally well as focal wall art in a living room, office, study, or gallery-style hallway.
While the exact country of origin is unknown, the work reflects the strong modernist figurative tradition of the mid-20th century.
