LAVAGRL Afrosoul

​Our LAVAGRL series is inspired by the colors, shapes and glow of a lava lamp. Each is painted freehand in a bright, pulsing palette chosen with a mix of precision and intuition. The push and pull of competing color values bring you a painting that enlivens your wall. Every Lava Girl is a true individual: entirely hand shaped, hand painted, and one of a kind.

Reclaimed 040 sheet aluminum is hand cut and hand hammered to create a gently curving afro with an inset face. It is ready to hang from a custom made bracket attached to the back, and the wild shape of this piece brings visual interest from every angle.

Hair is painted in a highly segmented gradient, starting with deep rich brown as a base for circles of lighter brown, red and vibrant fuchsia. Her face is painted in shades of pale olive, bright teal and deep forest green, with a splash of freckles across her nose, cheeks and chin.

Clear coated in Satin finish (less shiny than gloss, more reflective than matte)
