Caution: This is a very modern, vibrant piece of art! It justmight be the first thing your guests look at when they enter the room. If you like colorful abstract art, here is a piece you just might like this piece.

It is not easy to capture with the camera, but in some of the photos you should be able to see how the metal glows from behind the colors. This piece really pops on a white wall.
The sanded aluminum glows from behind layers of translucent paint. I painted each strip individually to make sure just enough paint is applied to be vivid, but still allowing the glow of the metal to be seen.

All three pieces are 60” tall. The width of each piece at its widest is 12”, 10” and 7”. I have them places about 6” apart, which makes the total width 41”. Of course, you can adjust the spacing a little. Each piece floats 1/2″ off the wall.

My modern metal wall art is mounted on wood. Due to the shape, this tryptic is mounted a bit different from the panels I normally mount my metal wall art on. These are still mounted on wood. Each piece hangs from a wire and hook just like a canvas.
