Surrealist Pop Art Copper & Enamel Sculpture – Layered Dimensional Scene with Reclining Nude, Chimp, and Palm Fronds

Surrealist Pop Art Copper & Enamel Sculpture – Layered Dimensional Scene with Reclining Nude, Chimp, and Palm Fronds. Copper and enamel paint. 7.5 x 6.25 x 1 inches

This one-of-a-kind copper and enamel sculpture is a striking fusion of surrealism and pop art, built with incredible detail and dimension. Constructed from thin sheets of hand-cut copper and painted in enamel, the piece is assembled into a custom shadow box-style frame, creating a layered, almost theatrical scene, with each painted element set on its own plane to build depth and narrative.

At the center—though intriguingly cropped—is a reclining nude, her neck and head just beyond the frame. This extreme crop adds a curious tension to the composition. The figure is rendered in a crisp, bold pop style evocative of Tom Wesselmann or Mel Ramos. Overlooking her is a watchful chimpanzee, while palm fronds stretch forward, completing the surreal tropical setting.

Freestanding and sculptural, this artwork blurs the line between wall art and object, offering a playful yet refined presence. Every layer is thoughtfully crafted, drawing the viewer deeper into its curious world.
