A remarkable intersection of natural mineral formation and Southwestern visionary art, this substantial quartz crystal specimen has been hand-painted with figurative imagery attributed to American artist Charles Frizzell.

Frizzell, born in 1944, is known for interpretative realism and imagery influenced by the American Southwest, spirituality, symbolism, landscape, and Native American-inspired themes. His work has been exhibited nationally and is represented by The Longworth Gallery on Canyon Road in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Rather than using a traditional canvas, this piece transforms the natural faces, points, and contours of a large quartz formation into the physical structure of the artwork. The painting follows the irregular geometry of the mineral, making the quartz itself an integral part of the composition.

The result is an unusual three-dimensional object that functions simultaneously as a natural quartz specimen, painted sculpture, and collectible work of Southwestern art.

An Unusual Artist-Made Object

Charles Frizzell is best known for paintings and works on paper rather than mineral-based objects. We have not identified another documented Frizzell work executed directly on a natural quartz crystal specimen, making this an especially unusual object within the body of work attributed to him.

The crystalline surface is not simply a support for the image. Its natural fractures, transparency, points, inclusions, and irregular contours become part of the finished composition, giving the artwork a sculptural presence that changes according to viewing angle and light.

Natural Quartz Characteristics

This is a genuine natural mineral specimen. Irregular surfaces, inclusions, fractures, variations in transparency, and other geological characteristics are inherent to quartz and should not be considered manufacturing defects.

Because the artwork was created directly on the mineral, the form and surface of this particular specimen make the piece inherently unique.

Attribution

This piece is attributed to Charles Frizzell but is unsigned. The attribution accompanies the specimen; however, From The Andes does not represent the work as independently authenticated by Charles Frizzell, his studio, or his representing gallery.

Collectors seeking formal authentication or additional provenance are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence.

For Collectors

This singular object may appeal to collectors of Southwestern art, visionary art, Charles Frizzell works, mineral specimens, quartz crystals, painted sculpture, Western art, metaphysical art, and unconventional artist-made objects.

One specimen only. The piece shown is the exact object offered for sale.
