This artwork by Antonine de Saint Pierre is a striking example of mid-20th century abstract wall sculpture. Measuring 49 ¾ inches in height and 33.5 inches in width, it presents a dynamic composition made from carved dark wood elements arranged in shallow relief within a light, rectangular frame.
The organic shapes—evocative of both biomorphic and totemic forms—float on a neutral background, allowing their rich texture and dark, matte finish to command attention. Each piece appears individually cut and thoughtfully positioned, creating a rhythmic vertical structure that invites the viewer to interpret its symbolic language.
Some of the forms suggest stylized human or animal features—an eye, a goblet, or limbs—hinting at a possible narrative or ceremonial reference. The contrast between positive and negative space plays a crucial role, imbuing the work with both solidity and lightness.
Valued at $9,800, this piece exemplifies Saint Pierre’s refined approach to modernist abstraction, combining sculptural craftsmanship with a poetic sensibility rooted in primitivism and modern design.
