Abstract Multi-Media Wall Sculpture

This is a contemporary abstract wall sculpture, constructed from multiple layers and materials to create a dynamic three-dimensional effect. The primary materials appear to be various metals, including brushed aluminum, copper, and possibly steel, with some elements exhibiting a patinated or heat-treated finish. The overall form is non-representational, featuring an intricate arrangement of curved and angular shapes that overlap and extend from the wall. Key physical characteristics include a central 'S' or wave-like element in brushed silver-tone metal, which undulates through the piece. This is surrounded and intersected by other forms: a prominent circular or semi-circular element on the left in a warm, burnished copper finish, featuring concentric ridges and a central hexagonal mesh or honeycomb pattern. Above and below, there are flatter, more angular components that have a striated, possibly heat-treated or patinated surface in shades of blue-gray and bronze, outlined with thin gold or brass-toned banding. A darker, possibly black or very dark purple, angular element provides a strong contrast to the lighter metals. The construction appears to involve stand-offs or hidden mounts, giving the piece a floating appearance from the wall, enhancing its three-dimensionality and light interaction. The varying textures from the brushed metal, the concentric circles of the copper, and the hexagonal mesh add substantial visual interest. No specific artist's marks or signatures are discernible from the image. The piece exhibits good craftsmanship, with clean lines and seemingly well-integrated components. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible damage, significant wear, or repairs, maintaining its original luster and intricate finishes. Given its abstract nature and materials, it likely dates from the late 20th or early 21st century, falling into a contemporary or modern art style.
