About the work

The largest piece in the current collection and the one that changes most with the light. Reclaimed pine and mahogany offcuts are carved, scorched and set into a deep panel, then worked over with bitumen and gold leaf until the lion emerges from the grid behind it.

The mane is cut as a series of spirals that catch a raking light from the side — under a picture light or a nearby lamp the whole surface animates. Flat overhead lighting flattens it, so placement matters.

Scale

At 130 × 180cm this is a statement wall piece intended for a double-height space, a wide chimney breast or a commercial reception. Weight and fixing requirements are supplied ahead of delivery, and Deedi installs within the North West as standard.
