Scott Troxel
Natural Mystic, 2019
Washed acrylic on Birch with satin lacquer finish
28 x 28 x 1"

Artist Statement
Natural Mystic is an elegant, monochromatic, contemporary wall sculpture. It is constructed with birch panels, acrylic washes and completed with a satin lacquer finish. The acrylic wash allows the wood grain to show through the paint and creates an almost marble-like appearance as the warm brown wood grain shows through the gradient white tones. Troxel's popular monochrome series focuses on the composition, balance, and form by using a limited color palette. The piece diffuses multiple opacities of white creating a contemplative state or alluding to an upbeat fresh modern vibe.

Artist Bio

Scott Troxel is an award winning, mixed media artist who specializes in wood wall sculpture and freestanding sculpture. He 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.

Scott has exhibited his work at numerous fairs and exhibitions across the United States, including The Other Art Fair New York, DIAF South Korea, Texas Contemporary, SCOPE Miami, SOFA Chicago, LA Art Fair, Aqua Miami, Seattle Art Fair, LA Art Fair, Hamptons Art Fair and Art Wynwood.

His works are held in corporate, hotel and private collections across the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and South America and can be seen in iconic buildings like The Hotel Del Coronado and The Shard London. His work has been commissioned by Georgia Power, Live! Casino, The Palms Singapore, Capital One, Northrup Grumman, Price Waterhouse Cooper and The Four Seasons Vail.

Scott was industrial designer and product developer, graphic artist and brand manager prior to transitioning to a full time artist in his early 40's. His background in commercial products, graphics, design and aesthetics mirror similar artists like Andy Warhol who honed their artistic skills through real world applications prior to the shift into fine arts.
