French Nouveau I

A bas-relief work in polished plaster, the French Nouveau I carries the sinuous confidence of early modernist ornament translated into wall-hung sculpture. Its generous proportions — twenty-six inches tall, twenty-two wide — give it the architectural authority to anchor a console vignette or hold its own against a paneled wall. The polished finish lends the surface a luminous, almost lapidary quality, catching light with a restraint that feels entirely considered.
