A mesmerizing and rare original work by acclaimed German-Canadian artist Bernhard Rohne, dated 1973. This dynamic wall piece showcases Rohne's signature acid-etched brass technique, combining rich metallic tones with abstract, sci-fi-inspired forms that evoke a futuristic totem or mechanical cathedral. At the center glows a bold red enamel detail, creating a striking focal point and a sense of movement and energy.
Warm tones of brass, bronze, gold, and copper are layered with black and dark olive accents, giving the piece a luminous, dimensional effect. The composition shifts beautifully depending on the lighting and angle.
Signed and dated in the upper right corner, this piece is presented in a black wood frame with brushed brass inner edging. It measures 24" high by 11.5" wide and 1" deep, and can be displayed vertically or horizontally depending on your space and aesthetic preference.
A stunning example of Rohne's early studio work before he became widely known for his etched panel collaborations with Mastercraft and other luxury furniture makers in the 1970s and "˜80s.

24" wide, 1" deep, and 11.5 high.
