Snub Cube
2018
Snub Cube is a mesmerizing illuminated sculpture by Anthony James, created between 2018-2023. This unique geometric work features a complex icosahedral form with intricate cut-out patterns revealing internal mirrored chambers that create infinite optical reflections. The powder-coated stainless steel structure is integrated with specialized glass and LED lighting, producing a hypnotic interplay of light, shadow, and reflected geometry that shifts as the viewer moves around the piece.

Leo Villareal
American · b. 1967
Villareal creates large scale geometric LED sculptures that use programmed light to generate hypnotic, endlessly shifting optical experiences within mirrored and polished structures, directly paralleling James's integration of LED illumination and infinite reflective geometry in Snub Cube.
Olafur Eliasson
Danish-Icelandic · b. 1967
Eliasson consistently works with geometric steel frameworks, specialized glass, and controlled light sources to produce immersive optical environments where mirrored reflections and prismatic effects dissolve the boundary between object and perception, closely mirroring the experiential and material qualities of Snub Cube.
Arnaud Lapierre
French · b. 1976
Lapierre specializes in polished geometric steel structures with mirrored interiors and integrated lighting that create infinite reflective corridors and kaleidoscopic optical illusions, sharing the same precise material combination and mesmerizing light geometry central to James's Snub Cube.
