In a breathtaking display of avant-garde design, this unique pair of Paul Evans Studio Monumental Sconces, boast an unexpected scale, each measuring an impressive 48 inches wide—a departure from Evans’ typically modest lighting creations. Each sconce is a testament to Evans’ distinctive style, adorned with intricate details that showcase his mastery of metalwork. Polychromed sections add depth and richness to the pieces, while visible welded marks and punctured incisions speak to the raw, industrial aesthetic that defines Evans’ work. Exuberant brazed brass designs dance across the surface, catching the light in mesmerizing patterns.

As one of the most sought-after American furniture designers of the late 20th century, Paul Evans pushed the boundaries of traditional craftsmanship, embracing innovative production techniques and experimental treatments. His distinct artistic vision draws inspiration from modern artists like Adolph Gottlieb and Louise Nevelson, blending collage-like compositions with the raw, primal energy of the Brutalist movement.

In this pair of sconces, Evans’ visual language is vividly articulated, offering a glimpse into his individual production methods and boundless creativity. They stand as a testament to his enduring legacy.
