Stuart Mathews Brutalist Wall Sculpture in Mixed Metals Brass Bronze Copper

Offered by: 20cdesign

Description
This striking wall sculpture by prolific mid-century Texas artist, Stuart Mathews, exemplifies his mastery in blending mixed metals into compelling abstract forms. Mathews—who honed his craft at the Art Institute of Chicago and Cranbrook Academy in the 1950s—was renowned for creating visually dynamic compositions that seamlessly fuse material and form.
This particular piece highlights his signature use of brass, bronze, and copper, enriched with varied patinas and textures. The result is a harmonious and timeless artwork that holds as much aesthetic impact today as when it was first created.
