Then this wall sculpture by Danish artist Henrik Horst is just what you're looking for. Henrik Horst is known worldwide for his large-scale metal works, which impress with their raw, architectural power and craftsmanship. The artwork is constructed according to the artist's classic principles: Etched metal elements: The abstract forms consist of patinated iron or steel treated with acids or heat. This creates the vibrant surface textures and warm, earthy tones typical of Horst's work. Woven background: The metal elements are mounted on a panel covered with jute or burlap. This contrast between the hard, cool metal and the coarse, natural texture of the fabric gives the sculpture its unique depth and tactile quality. Original frame: The work is usually set in a simple, solid wood frame, which grounds the composition and is typical of Danish design from that era. An original piece from Denmark, this sculpture represents a time when art and craft merged to enliven modern living spaces with expressive, tactile objects. Henrik Horst's works from the 1960s and 70s are now highly sought-after collector's items. See less
