About the Item

This sculpture distills form to its essence, presenting a vertical sequence of heavy iron links rising from a warm wooden base. Each connection carries the weight of the next, suggesting strength, continuity, and dependence. The contrast between the raw, dark metal and the smooth, organic wood grounds the work in both industry and craft. Simple yet resonant, the piece evokes themes of connection, endurance, and the quiet power found in restraint. John Seubert Untitled mixed media 30.50h x 13w x 13d in 77.47h x 33.02w x 33.02d cm JSE118 John Seubert’s work draws from Symbolism, Surrealism, Expressionism, and the raw immediacy of Art Brut, yet it forms a world entirely his own. His paintings, assemblages, and hybrid constructions transform reclaimed frames, wood, hardware, and found materials into intimate objects that feel at once handcrafted and psychologically charged. Windows, altars, carved texts, and small totemic figures recur throughout his practice, turning everyday materials into sites of ritual and reflection. The works reveal Seubert’s belief in the emotional life of objects. Eyes peer from behind window grids, dogs stand like secular icons, flowers bloom in thick impasto, and carved heads perch on makeshift pedestals. Each piece suggests a narrative just out of reach—private, tender, and occasionally humorous—inviting viewers into a quiet world built from memory, devotion, and the poetry of salvage.
