Rak & Loa Leather Wall Sculpture Mask – Tangier Morocco 1993
Expressive handcrafted leather wall sculpture by Rak and Loa, created using molded full-grain leather in their distinctive sculptural style. The piece features a serene human face emerging from flowing, organic folds of leather, accented with spiral motifs that enhance the sense of movement and dimensionality.
Rak and Loa are known for developing multi-dimensional leather artworks influenced by traditional Moroccan and Portuguese leather molding techniques. Their work often reflects elements of **nature—wind, water, earth, and fire—**through dramatic forms and textured surfaces. This example displays a rich dark patina with warm highlights that emphasize the sculpted contours and facial details.
The reverse is hand-marked “Tangier, Morocco – May 1993” and includes the original leather hanging strap for wall display. A distinctive piece of international studio craft that combines traditional leatherworking with modern sculptural design.
Condition:
Good vintage condition overall with wear consistent with age and handcrafted leather materials. The reverse shows surface marks and paint-like splatter typical of the artist’s backing finish. The original leather hanger shows some wear but remains functional. Please review photos for details.
Dimensions:
18 x 11 x 2 inches
