Terebellum is a large modern wall sculpture. As with all my work, Terebellum is retrofuturist, meaning that it is both a nostalgic nod to the past (Mid century modern and Art Deco inspired) while also looking toward the future. The monochromatic color palette puts emphasis on the composition of pieces, without the distraction of color. Sweeping birch wood pieces add a warmth and organic ness to the piece that keeps it from being too modern or cold (again a nod to mid century design). I applied 6 layers of paint underneath the off white top coat, which was sanded back slightly. Upon close inspection, you can see darker colors underneath the off-white and some traces of distressing, especially on the edges. The piece is finished with high end satin lacquer which appears as an automotive quality finish on both the wood and the off-white pieces. Recommended to be hung with cleats (included) for support on the wall.

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 The ideas of young/old, past and future, modern versus outdated, technology, nostalgia and futurism all seem to find a place in my work.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.).
