Portal Icosahedron
2018
Portal Icosahedron is a striking geometric sculpture by Anthony James, created in 2018. The work features a complex icosahedral form constructed from steel and glass, with integrated LED lighting that creates an illuminated geometric pattern of triangular facets. The sculpture is mounted on a black base and demonstrates James's signature approach to creating reflective, light-based installations that explore sacred geometry and infinite space. This large-scale work exemplifies the artist's mastery of combining industrial materials with ethereal light effects.

James Turrell
American · b. 1943
Turrell similarly uses light as a primary sculptural material to create immersive geometric environments that explore perception and infinite space, sharing the same meditative quality and relationship between light, form, and viewer that defines the Portal Icosahedron.
Leo Villareal
American · b. 1967
Villareal works extensively with LED integrated geometric structures and reflective surfaces to produce luminous large scale sculptures, closely paralleling James's approach of embedding programmable light within precise geometric frameworks to evoke infinite and sacred spatial experiences.
Olafur Eliasson
Danish · b. 1967
Eliasson frequently constructs geometric steel and glass forms with integrated light sources that investigate reflection, perception, and cosmic geometry, making his practice one of the closest contemporary parallels to the luminous icosahedral language of this specific work.
