Mid-Century Abstract Relief Wall Sculpture c.1970 – Signed Grant, Brutalist Mixed Media Artwork
This rare mid-century abstract relief artwork, signed “Grant”, is a striking example of British School brutalist and modernist wall art from around 1970. Executed as a three-dimensional relief, the piece features textured, elongated figural forms arranged vertically, creating strong depth, shadow, and sculptural presence.
The work is attributed to Grant, and is stylistically consistent with reliefs and wall sculptures associated with James Edward Grant (1924–1997), an artist known for his experimental use of plastics, composites, and mixed media in the late 1950s through early 1970s. During this period, Grant’s practice evolved from abstract painting into collage, bas-relief, and wall-mounted sculpture, often exploring dimensionality and human form.
Similar works signed simply “Grant” appear in private collections, auctions, and design archives, frequently described as brutalist, abstract figurative reliefs. This piece aligns closely with that body of work and reflects the innovative spirit of post-war modernist sculpture and wall art.
A powerful statement piece, ideal for mid-century modern, brutalist, industrial, or gallery-style interiors.
