This original mixed-media relief sculpture features a striking figurative face composed of reclaimed copper ,copper wire, and copper components, set against a stunningly patinated brass background.
What makes this piece truly exceptional is its unique history: it is a one-of-a-kind collaborative artwork. The expressive central face sculpture was created by an independent artist, while the masterful, vibrant background was hand-crafted and patinated by renowned artisan Joseph Malekan. This synergy between two distinct creative minds makes the piece a remarkable conversation starter and an irreplaceable addition to any fine art collection.
The Dual-Artist Collaboration: A beautiful dialogue between two artists. The primitive, geometric features of the face seamlessly contrast with the fluid, organic movement of the background.
Masterful Verdigris Patina: The brass background features a mesmerizing, multi-layered verdigris finish expertly executed by Joseph Malekan. The vivid seafoam greens, turquoise blues, and earthy copper-red undertones create a dynamic, painterly sky effect that pushes the face forward.
Three-Dimensional Texture: This is a true high-relief sculpture. The heavy wire hair, the protruding nose, the hollow-pipe eyes, and the white corrugated metal visor pop drastically off the surface, casting beautiful changing shadows depending on the room's lighting.
Excellent Artistic Condition: The piece intentionally celebrates the raw, weathered beauty of industrial materials. The metals show intentional oxidization, rich rust, and textural distressing consistent with the Brutalist and assemblage style.
Structure & Framing: Structurally sound and solidly mounted. The frame is in excellent condition with minor handling wear, and the backing paper is fully intact with a heavy-duty professional hanging wire installed. See less
