Dodecahedron 40" (Solar Black)
2025
Anthony James's 'Dodecahedron 40" (Solar Black)' is a striking light sculpture that harnesses the geometry of a dodecahedron — a twelve-faced Platonic solid — to produce infinite mirror-like reflections through its specialized glass panels and internal LED illumination. The black-finished stainless steel framework creates a dramatic contrast against the luminous teal and white interior, which recedes into a mesmerizing tunnel of recursive pentagonal forms. This work exemplifies James's long-standing investigation into geometry, light, and the perception of infinite space within finite form. Part of a strictly limited edition of six, it is an exceptional collector's object with strong institutional presence.

Olafur Eliasson
Danish-Icelandic · b. 1967
Eliasson creates geometric light installations using mirrors, steel, and LED systems that produce infinite recursive reflections and immersive tunnel effects, directly paralleling the dodecahedron's mesmerizing interior depth and interplay of geometry with luminous perception.
Leo Villareal
American · b. 1967
Villareal works with polished steel frameworks and programmable LED arrays to construct geometric light sculptures that generate hypnotic, recursive visual fields, sharing the same precise material language and luminous black steel aesthetic as this dodecahedron piece.
Anish Kapoor
British-Indian · b. 1954
Kapoor's mirrored steel sculptures create infinite interior reflections and optical tunneling effects within geometric forms, producing the same quality of perceptual depth and dramatic contrast between dark exterior surfaces and luminous recursive interiors found in this work.
