Depicting a group of seven butterflies in dynamic diagonal flight, each butterfly is individually torch-cut from copper sheet and finished with a rich flame patina that produces a stunning range of deep auburn, bronze, and verdigris tones.
Slender wire rods radiate from each butterfly form, evoking the delicate energy and grace of wings in motion. The raw, hand-worked edges and dimensional quality of this piece are quintessential brutalist craftsmanship — bold, organic, and unapologetically artistic.
This sculpture would be equally at home in a botanical-inspired space, a mid-century modern living room, or a contemporary gallery-style setting. A truly investment-worthy decorative art piece. See less
