Tiger

Tiger is carved from a towering section of Texas pecan distinguished by pronounced natural spalting, a rare condition that produces dark mineralized lines and concentrated orange-black patterning within the wood. Vertical bands of amber, gold, and deep brown rise through the column, while irregular spalted markings introduce contrast and visual tension that give the work its name. A carved internal chamber introduces light from within the form, allowing illumination to travel downward through the pecan’s dense heartwood. As the light activates both grain and spalted areas, shifts between smooth, sculpted planes and raw, textured passages become more pronounced, reinforcing the material’s natural movement without softening its strength. Anchored by a stainless-steel base, Tiger stands tall and assertive—defined by verticality, contrast, and the controlled interplay between mass, pattern, and light. Each Arte LUMIS piece is one-of-a-kind.
