Landon Metz’s mirror-polished bronze sculpture combines both abstraction and materiality, as the piece interacts with the reflection of the objects around it. This sculpture expands Metz’s exploration of spatial dynamics into our tangible world. Through its reflective surface, Metz includes the surrounding objects in his work, as with each new place the piece sits, new reflections and light become part of the art, acknowledging the ever-changing form of abstract art.

The work
Elevating beyond the confines of the two-dimensional plane, the sculpture seamlessly transports the rhythmic and meditative essence found in Metz's paintings into the tangible world. The mirror-polished surface not only interacts with the surrounding space but also initiates a dynamic and dialogic engagement between the viewer and the sculpture.
With ideas of spatial dynamics and abstraction often confusing and disorienting, Metz grounds them in the here and now, allowing viewers to experience abstraction in comfortable, familiar environments. This sculpture presents an opportunity to own a fragment of Landon Metz’s unfolding narrative in abstraction.
Materials & making
Cast bronze
Bronze holds detail that few materials can. Cast from the artist's original, each edition carries the same surface, weight and gravity, a physical record of the hand that made it, hardened into an alloy that will outlast everyone who touches it.

01
Mould and wax
The artist's original is captured in a flexible mould, from which a hollow wax replica is taken and refined by hand until every surface matches the source.
02
Lost-wax casting
The wax is encased in a ceramic shell and fired; the wax runs out and molten bronze is poured into the void it leaves, taking on the exact form of the original.
03
Chasing and assembly
The rough cast is released from its shell, sprues removed, and seams chased away by hand so the metal reads as a single continuous surface.
04
Patina and finish
The finished bronze is coloured with heat and chemistry, then sealed with a hand-applied patina unique to each edition.
