Original artwork description:

The “Kestrel” marquetry art piece by Troy Hyde captures the vibrant energy and swift grace of its namesake through bold, flowing shapes. This artwork combines the vivid tones of coloured Light Green, Yellow, Orange and Red Tulipwood, harmoniously contrasted with the rich grain of American Black Walnut and the warm, natural beauty of American Red Oak. The interplay of these striking colours and varied wood textures creates a lively and captivating visual experience. The wood grain, precisely hand-cut and meticulously inlaid, adds texture and depth, drawing the viewer into its intricate design.

Marquetry, an ancient technique of inlaying wood veneer to craft intricate patterns, is exquisitely presented in “Kestrel.” Each piece of wood is carefully cut, glued, finished with shellac, and lightly wax polished, ensuring both durability and a refined finish. “Kestrel” enchants with its dynamic lines and bold contrasts, inviting the viewer to explore the interplay of colour and form. The design encourages a sense of movement and vitality, sparking an imaginative dialogue with the artwork.

Every 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, “Kestrel” is designed with a floating effect that enhances its vibrant presence. The frame’s natural grain complements the artwork, creating a harmonious balance between the materials and the artistic expression. “Kestrel” is packaged in a presentation box for added sophistication and protection, making it an ideal choice for gifting or storage.
