Description from the seller
Naomi Wallens – Comfortably Numb – Hand-Carved Wood, Gold & Neon Mixed Media Sculpture (99 cm, Signed)
Naomi Wallens (British)
Comfortably Numb, 2024
Mixed media: hand-carved wood, spray paint, acrylic, gold metal, and hand-bent glass neon
Dimensions: 55 × 99 × 10 cm (height × width × depth)
Signed by the artist (signature incorporated within the work)
Comfortably Numb is a key work from Naomi Wallens’ Dimmer Switch of Life series—an ongoing body of work exploring the gradual disconnection from instinct, emotion, and personal ambition under the pressures of societal conformity.
Referencing the iconic Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd, the piece draws on the haunting lyrics about emotional disconnection and lost dreams. Central to the composition are hand-carved wooden lips, finished with layered spray paint, acrylic, and gold detailing, paired with hand-bent white glass neon. The juxtaposition of tactile craftsmanship and luminous light creates a powerful visual tension between expression and silence.
Wallens’ work blends street art influences with sculptural form, transforming cultural references into bold, narrative-driven objects. This piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind artwork, functioning as both a collectible object and a striking interior statement.
Condition
Very good overall condition. Minor variations and surface irregularities are inherent to the hand-crafted process and are part of the work’s unique character.
Provenance
Acquired directly from the artist’s studio.
Documentation
Hand-signed by the artist. Certificate of Authenticity available upon request.
Shipping
The artwork will be professionally packed in a bespoke wooden crate and shipped fully insured due to the fragile nature of the hand-bent glass neon. Suitable for international shipping.
Seller's Story
Naomi Wallens
Contemporary Artist | Designer | Visual Storyteller
British multidisciplinary artist Naomi Wallens is known for her bold visual language—merging painting, sculpture, and neon with deeply personal narratives. Her work confronts societal conformity, celebrates empowerment, and reclaims identity through rebellion, humour, and heart.
Whether creating under her street tag ‘SHYGUY’ or in fine art spaces like The Saatchi Gallery, Wallens fuses raw emotion with unapologetic aesthetics. Each piece functions as both a personal statement and a collectible object—layered, expressive, and instantly recognisable.
