Achtung is a very large mixed media wall sculpture. The solid American cherry hardwood panel was repurposed from a 70 year old wood dining room table. Layers of MDF panels are then laid over top of the cherry to create dimension and movement. This piece was inspired by mid-century modern design in both color and form. The bold red/orange, yellow/green, white, grey and black colors combine with the natural cherry wood grain to suggest the time period. The juxtaposed angles and colors create a surprising sense of both forward movement and calm. As for the name, Achtung, while there is a lot going on in this piece, it somehow has a zen like effect in the room. Like the eye of a storm. It will be the focal point of any space, yet it manages to not overpower.  This piece would be perfect for a corporate lobby, boardroom or in a residential space with high ceilings.  Take from it what you will, as I love how each viewer sees what they want in the piece. It is up for you to decide.

It is finished with semi-gloss satin lacquer for protection.  It will come complete with a french cleat hanging system which will need to be drilled into wall studs for strength.

Scott Troxel draws on the aesthetics of bygone technology and the forward-looking designs of the Atomic Age and mid-century modernism to make dynamic, retrofuturist wooden sculptures that evoke nostalgia for the past as much as they look to the future. Fascinated by the way pieces of technology, culture, and design reveal their age, Scott aims to make works that cannot be pinned to a specific era. Scott has exhibited his work at numerous fairs and exhibitions across the United States, including The Other Art Fair New York, and his works are held in private collections across the United States, Canada, Europe, and South America. As a purely abstract artist, I explore form, line, color, shape, texture and mass. Since I am usually not relying on a recognizable object in my work, I create through the process itself. I start out with a sketch or design and work through the creative process, hands on. My pieces always take several weeks to finish as I constantly change them, until they just feel right. I really like to give my pieces a feeling of juxtaposition and a balance of opposites, in terms of textures and materials. For example, I will combine a recycled 60 year old cherry table top with a piece of modern manufactured Azek decking. The ideas of young/old, past and future, modern versus outdated, technology, nostalgia and futurism all seem to find a place in my work. I also believe this ties into a distinctly human theme. For example, you can pinpoint a person’s age by the technology they grew up with (Black and white TV, Rotary phone, landlines, etc.).
