Signed by the renowned American artist Silas Seandel, this mid-century Brutalist wall sculpture from 1976 is a masterful fusion of industrial design and artistic craftsmanship. Crafted from repurposed industrial materials, its layered composition reveals traces of its origins—formed steel, riveted openings, and industrial curvatures—preserved through the raw torch-cut process. These elements transcend traditional sculpture, imbuing the piece with a compelling narrative of industrial creation and transformation.

The sculpture’s dimensionality is striking, with strips of metal twisting and writhing inwards and outwards to create a dynamic interplay of connection points and undulating curves. Its rhythmic energy, balanced by the weight and gravity of the steel, evokes a sense of movement and frenzy while maintaining an underlying serenity and robust industrial strength.

This evocative work exemplifies Seandel’s ability to reimagine utilitarian materials into bold, sculptural art. A commanding presence in any space, it encapsulates both the raw energy of Brutalism and the timeless artistry of mid-century modern design. Signed on the lower front surface of the sculpture denoting the artist. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
