Knowing Glance – Original Shadow Sculpture by Furst_Ori | ArtandShadow

Witness the fusion of fifteenth-century mastery and contemporary industrial design. Knowing Glance is a mixed-media shadow sculpture centered around a penetrating gaze – an eye captured from a 1475 masterpiece by Antonello da Messina. By placing a Renaissance icon within a raw, geometric framework, the artistic collective Furst_Ori creates a small visual theater where history and modern structure collide, offering a sophisticated focal point for modern living rooms, minimalist studios, or executive offices.

This is not merely a static wall hanging, but an evolving installation designed to be interactive, utilizing transparency and volume to project intricate shadows. The high-quality print on heavy five-hundred-gram acetate is housed within a three-dimensional frame, creating a layered, multi-dimensional effect with dynamic depth. Whether catching the natural morning sun or positioned under directional gallery spotlights, the sculpture casts its geometric lines across your interior walls, amplifying the structural shadows against the surface.

The meticulous production involves solid round six-millimeter steel bars, hand-welded directly by the artists and polished to a clean silver iron sheen. Crafted entirely by hand to order inside the Furst_Ori studio, located in an old sugar factory on the outskirts of Granada, Spain, each piece is born directly from their fine arts practice. The steel framework is finished with a protective varnish, ensuring lasting material value for high-end interior design and luxury home decor.

This exclusive design by Artandshadow measures thirteen centimeters on all sides, presenting a lightweight yet structurally impactful presence. The artwork is protected and cannot be reproduced, ensuring the piece remains a rare addition for art collectors and design professionals. To achieve the intended spatial effect, the sculpture is best mounted on a light-colored wall where changing light can naturally interact with the steel bars and the transparency of the inner core.
