Original artwork description:

The “Horizon” marquetry art piece by Troy Hyde captures the powerful and serene essence of the male form viewed from the back, evoking a sense of quiet strength. This artwork combines the rich, golden tones of European Oak, the subtle elegance of Avodire, the textured depth of Grey Oak, and the striking hue of coloured dark blue Tulipwood. The fusion of these materials creates a visually compelling and balanced composition. Each element, meticulously hand-cut and inlaid with precision, invites the viewer to explore the natural beauty of the wood.

Marquetry, a time-honoured craft of inlaying wood veneer. Every piece of wood is carefully cut, glued, finished with shellac, and lightly wax polished to ensure both durability and a refined finish. “Horizon” captivates with its smooth, flowing lines and harmonious contrasts, encouraging the viewer to engage with the artwork’s depiction of strength. The design embodies both power and grace, offering a reflective dialogue with the viewer.

Each marquetry art piece by Troy Hyde is a unique creation, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, signed and stamped by the artist. Displayed within a sleek lime wood frame, “Horizon” is designed with a floating effect that enhances its serene presence. The frame’s natural grain complements the artwork, creating a balance between the materials and the artistic expression. “Horizon” is packaged in a presentation box for added sophistication and protection, making it ideal for gifting or storage.
