Original artwork description:

The “Quest” marquetry art piece by Troy Hyde explores the journey of discovery through its bold and dynamic shapes. This artwork contrasts the warm, natural tones of English Cherry, the rich, reddish-brown hues of Sapele Crown Cut, and the luxurious texture of Rio Rosewood wood, accented by the sleek, modern touch of Aluminium metal. The combination of these materials creates a striking and contemporary visual experience. The natural wood grain, precisely hand-cut and inlaid with meticulous attention to detail, adds depth and dimension, inviting the viewer to delve into its intricate design.

Marquetry, a centuries-old technique of inlaying wood veneer to create elaborate patterns, is masterfully demonstrated in “Quest.” Each piece of wood is carefully cut, glued, finished with shellac, and lightly wax polished, ensuring both durability and a refined finish. “Quest” captivates with its sharp, geometric lines and contrasting materials, inviting the viewer to explore the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and modern design. The design encourages the viewer to embark on a visual journey, engaging them in a thoughtful dialogue with the artwork.

Every marquetry art piece by Troy Hyde is a one-of-a-kind creation, complete with a certificate of authenticity, signed and stamped by the artist. Displayed within a sleek lime wood frame, “Quest” is designed with a floating effect that enhances its bold presence. The frame’s natural grain complements the artwork, creating a harmonious balance between the materials and the artistic expression. For added sophistication and protection, “Quest” is packaged in a presentation box, making it an ideal choice for gifting or storage.
