Vintage 1970s Mixed-Media Fabric Padded Intarsia Wall Art

This large-scale, vertical wall hanging is a stylized, abstract figurative work of art, popular during the Mid-Century Modern and 1970s eras. The piece employs a technique known as fabric intarsia or padded fabric appliqué, where individual shapes are wrapped in various textiles and assembled to create a three-dimensional, relief effect. The central subject is a female figure in profile, rendered in curved, organic geometric shapes that suggest movement. The color palette is quintessentially late-20th-century, featuring earthy ochre, burnt orange, tan, and cream tones against a deep chocolate brown background. The materials appear to be faux-suede or alcantara-like fabrics, which provide a soft, matte texture that absorbs light. Each segment is precisely cut and padded to create depth. The entire assembly is housed within a minimalist, brushed aluminum shadowbox frame that is characteristic of 1970s interior design. Visible condition is excellent for its age, showing minimal fading or loose threads, and no significant staining. While no signature is immediately visible on the front, this style is highly reminiscent of works by artists like Curtis Jere or commercial design firms of the period. The craftsmanship is high, with tight seams and consistent padding throughout.
