Eye and Lips - wall art decor

The modular diptych brings together two commanding fragments of the face, pairing a penetrating gaze with the subtle contours of the mouth, completely integrated into a strict monochrome aesthetic. Conceived by the artistic collective Furst_Ori for the Artandshadow line, this two-piece shadow sculpture draws inspiration from the structural rigor of the Bauhaus, bridging minimalist modernism with a sharp contemporary pop sensibility. The composition features a detailed eye and lips captured from a 1920s black and white photograph, which has been given a stylized newsprint halftone texture to emphasize that iconic pop art feel, creating a striking visual theater where vintage photography and industrial design collide.

The dual nature of the work allows complete spatial freedom for high-end interior design and luxury home decor. The two individual units can be arranged side by side in perfect symmetry, staggered asymmetrically to generate a sense of movement, or spaced apart to create a larger focal point on an empty wall. As natural or artificial light shifts throughout the day, the steel frames project sharp focused shadows that interact with the surrounding surface, transforming the diptych into a living wall installation that evolves with the room's atmosphere.

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 high-quality monochrome prints – heavy five-hundred-gram acetate – are protected by acrylic glass, establishing a powerful material contrast between the solid iron framework and the transparency of the inner cores.

Each individual unit measures 10 centimeters on all sides, presenting a lightweight yet structurally impactful presence in minimalist homes, design studios, or executive offices. This exclusive design by Artandshadow is protected and cannot be reproduced, ensuring your collection remains unique. To achieve the full depth of the structural shadows, the sculptures are best mounted on a light-colored wall where directional lighting can amplify the interplay of steel, image, and space.
