About the Item
A stunning pair of bookmatched twisted candlesticks crafted by self-taught artist Curtis Norton. These striking pieces are meticulously hand-forged from stainless steel and polished to a brilliant, high shine that enhances their sculptural elegance.
Unlike most candlesticks that are solid cast pieces, Norton’s work is distinguished by the labor-intensive and highly skilled process of hand forging stainless steel—a material known for its exceptional hardness and resistance to corrosion, making it particularly difficult to shape. This process requires heating, hammering, bending, and welding the metal by hand, demanding both technical mastery and artistic vision to maintain structural integrity and create graceful forms.
As a self-taught artist, Norton embodies the spirit of independence and innovation central to the evolution of modernism. His fresh, unorthodox approach challenges traditional norms and elevates craftsmanship into sculptural art, pushing the boundaries of functional design. Self-taught artists like Norton have been vital in introducing new perspectives and techniques that have enriched modernist aesthetics.
The bookmatched twisting design highlights a perfect mirror-image symmetry, showcasing Norton’s meticulous attention to form and balance. Both candlesticks are signed on the bottom, confirming their authenticity and making them sought-after collector’s pieces.
These candlesticks exemplify the fusion of traditional metalworking craftsmanship with postmodern sculptural design, transforming practical objects into captivating works of art.
