Balanced Orbs Sculpture on Crystal

Availability: Available to Order

Lead Time: 16+ weeks

A composition of suspended tension and quiet theatricality, this sculptural work from John Richard arranges orbs in studied equilibrium across a crystalline ground, the whole animated by the interplay of hand-applied gold leaf and silver leaf against iron and glass. At twenty-six inches wide and thirteen inches tall, it commands a console or credenza with the authority of a collected object rather than a decorative afterthought. The alternating warmth of gold and the cooler luminosity of silver leaf catch and redistribute ambient light with each shift in the room, giving the piece a subtly living quality throughout the day.
