About the work

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, retro-futurist wooden sculptures that evoke nostalgia for the past as much as they look to the future.

In his latest body of work termed "Small Pops" (2023-2024), Troxel focuses on smaller, chunky, minimalist inspired work that taps into his mid century modern sensibility. The Small Pops Series uses 2" deep solid wood combined with bold color palettes, wood grain and sometimes surface textures. Troxel states "I developed the Small Pops Series as a reaction against the very large commission pieces that I do for my public space projects.
