About the Item
This stunning Mid-Century modernist enamel on copper artwork was designed by George F. Welch (1926 - 2003). The large square enameled plaque is wall-mounted and framed. The piece boasts an Abstract and Brutalist design with Hebrew fonts and numbers on the top. The plaque has an inscribed Welch signature toward the bottom right corner. An original paper label providing the artist's statement is also on the back under the protection paper. Please note that the artist intentionally makes circular dents visible on both bottom angles. Please read the biography below for a complete explanation.
We have framed this piece with a modern frame in brushed silver metallic wood with an almond green and off-white matte.
The enamel panel is in good condition, with a tiny chip on the enamel at the lower left edge, but it does not significantly affect the overall appearance.
Measurements:
Frame size: 23 in wide (58.5 cm) x 23 in high (58.5 cm)
Plaque size: 16 in wide (40.5 cm) x 16 in high (40.5 cm).
Note: Ambiance pictures might not have the exact painting size.
Note: George F. Welch (1926-2003)
Welch became interested in enameling after taking a jewelry-making course at University College in the 1950s. He stated, "Enamel is often used to enhance jewelry pieces by adding color, so I decided to try it with bigger metal pieces."
A native of New Britain, Connecticut, Welch came to Syracuse after graduating from the School of the Worcester (Mass.) Art Museum, the Hartford Art School, and four years as a Marine Corps artist.
As an artist, he finds his work rewarding.
Creating enamel is my greatest pleasure, he says. He goes on to explain that the uniqueness of the process is exciting, and it just cannot be found in painting.
He explained that the process involves applying oxides-colored enamels to a metal surface. "Usually, I use copper, but silver, aluminum, gold, or stainless steel can also be used."
The enamels, done by George F. Welch, are abstract works on copper, framed for hanging.
Welch was a full-time artist who painted and sculpted, considering his enamels a Fine Arts medium. He worked on flat copper, firing it repeatedly for desired effects and experimenting with oxides and tones.
He said that his vision is partial initially, but adding colors and textures as the work progresses builds the design.
When finished, he gives it a title, usually on a nature theme, which allows people to relate to it. His enamel works are striking. The textures, colors, and design almost jump from the wall. Welch has a bold, direct style of handling the medium, using color with three-dimensional effects.
The designs are impressive, sometimes accentuated by bending the flat copper or hammering three circular bumps on one corner. Some exterior materials, such as thumbtacks, are also added, creating a beautiful spatial form.
The textures and colors have an emotional substance: they reach out to the viewer. Welch used the enameling media with impressive results.
