Mixed Media Abstract Wall Art titled 'DALE WOOD' by Geoffrey Adams

A vertical, rectilinear mixed-media abstract expressionist artwork attributed to Geoffrey Adams. The piece features a central copper plate or metallic substrate heavily textured with what appears to be melted solder, enamel, or resin, forming amorphous organic shapes in silver and bronze tones. Horizontal black lines or wires are layered across the composition, creating a rhythmic, skeletal effect. The artwork is housed in an elaborate multi-layered 1970s-style frame, consisting of an inner light-wood trim, a dark brown fabric or paper mat, an secondary textured linen or burlap border, and an outer wooden frame with a brushed metallic or chrome facing and black edges. The materials suggest a Mid-Century Modern or Brutalist aesthetic typical of the mid-20th century. Condition-wise, the piece appears well-preserved under glass, though the frame shows minor age-related wear and potential dust accumulation on the textile mats. As specified in the context, this piece is part of the 'DALE WOOD' series, characterized by industrial materials integrated with naturalistic, textured forms.
