Peach Nero
Édition d’Artiste
Archive ID: MM GUARDIAN PN 001

Guardian Peach Nero explores contrast through restraint. A deep black frame anchored by warm peach-toned lenses, creating a dialogue between shadow and light. The surface holds weight and opacity, while the lenses introduce softness and warmth, like late afternoon light filtering through stone.

hand painted details by Marcel Katz. The finish preserves subtle tonal movement across the frame, allowing the black to feel dimensional rather than flat. The peach lenses shift gently with light, offering warmth without sentimentality. What appears severe becomes unexpectedly human.

Handcrafted in Modena, Italy, Guardian Peach Nero transforms the Guardian silhouette into a wearable sculpture defined by balance. The form is bold and protective, while the color relationship introduces calm and clarity. This is a study in duality: structure and ease, darkness and glow.

An optional sculptural stand accompanies the work, made in house in the United States from copper and nickel soldered metal, then patina aged for a raw, industrial, gallery ready presentation. The object exists equally on the face or at rest.
