Mixed Media Sculpture ‘Reef Bloom’ by Amanda Deadman

New mixed media sculpture relief by wall art artist Amanda Deadman.

Framed and set in a deep, perspex box, the piece is a three-dimensional piece that comes alive as it reaches off the surface by 4omm.

The texture and colours ensure that light dances across the piece throughout the day, giving a myriad of reflections and colour fields.

Artist’s Statement

“Reef Bloom,” is a captivating sculptural relief that draws inspiration from the mesmerizing forms of corals and the delicate intricacies of floral structures.
At first glance, this stunning piece presents a serene palette of cream, beige, and brown, inviting you to explore its tranquil surface. However, as you draw closer, a vibrant world unfolds before your eyes. Hidden beneath the neutral tones are bursts of colour—soft pinks, lush greens, fiery reds, warm oranges, sunny yellows, and serene blues. And a radiant gold bloom that stands out brilliantly, adding a touch of luxury and intrigue.
Each bloom is meticulously mounted on the backing board, protruding 4 cm to create a striking three-dimensional effect. As light dances across the surface, it casts intricate shadows that enhance the artwork’s depth and complexity, transforming any space into a dynamic visual experience.

The artwork is framed in a white glazed (Perspex) deep box frame.
