Art Deco Angel by Simon Probyn, Steel, Unique, 142cm high by 152cm wide by 5cm deep, Abstract sculpture
Art Deco Angel by Simon Probyn is a striking abstract steel sculpture, standing 142cm high and spanning 152cm wide. This unique piece features a bold, geometric interpretation of angelic wings, crafted from six large triangular steel forms, three on each side, extending outward in perfect symmetry.
The design draws clear inspiration from the Art Deco movement. Its clean lines, sharp angles, and polished industrial surface give it a modern yet timeless presence. Each triangle creates a dynamic rhythm, suggesting movement and lift, as though the wings are poised mid-flight. Yet, despite its minimalism, the sculpture conveys a strong sense of grace and power.
Viewed front-on, the wings form a stylised silhouette reminiscent of ancient symbols of protection or transcendence. From other angles, the negative space between the triangles becomes just as important, adding lightness and energy to the otherwise solid material.
Probyn’s use of steel not only emphasizes strength but also reflects light in dramatic ways. This gives the sculpture a constantly shifting character depending on time of day and viewing position. It feels both grounded and celestial.
Art Deco Angel stands as a bold, architectural tribute to freedom, flight, and spirit. It merges industrial material with spiritual symbolism, resulting in a compelling visual statement.
