Swiss Mahogany Sculpture Attributed to Maurice Perrenoud, 1960s
Attributed to Swiss painter and sculptor Maurice Perrenoud, a sculptural work created in the 1960s, a piece that rewards prolonged observation, revealing new relationships with every angle.
Composed of five individual elements in African mahogany, the piece explores balance, proportion, and assembly through a language of interlocking forms. Each component is substantial in scale, carved from solid timber and shaped with softened edges that reveal the material’s weight while preserving a sense of restraint.
The warm tone of the mahogany brings depth to the composition, allowing light to travel across its surfaces and emphasize the natural grain.
The joinery is not concealed but celebrated, becoming an integral part of the visual rhythm. Horizontal and vertical members intersect with a directness that draws attention to the act of making. Connections become focal points, creating moments of tension and resolution throughout the composition.
Viewed from different angles, the arrangement shifts between object and architecture. It suggests a chair, a framework, a monument, yet remains deliberately unresolved. Negative space plays as significant a role as the wood itself, with openings and projections creating a dialogue between mass and void.
