SELECTED WORKS

Portfolio


Browse hand-carved reliefs and sculptural pieces—each shaped by hand, with attention to grain, depth, and finish. Inquiries and commissions welcome.

This portfolio presents hand-carved works by Brian Patrick Wade—pieces shaped slowly by hand, where the tool marks remain part of the finished language and the material leads the form.

Browse selected reliefs and sculptural carvings across different series and scales. Each work begins with close observation, then moves through drawing, carving, and refinement until the surface holds depth, rhythm, and edge.

Materials, grain, and light matter here as much as subject. You’ll find work intended for intimate viewing as well as pieces designed to live in a room—collectible objects that keep revealing new detail over time.

For collectors, designers, and curators: if a piece speaks to your space, reach out to discuss availability, sizing, or a custom commission aligned with this body of work.

FEATURED

Collections & Carved Series

Relief Panels

Studio Works

Layered carvings that use depth, shadow, and grain to create quiet movement across the surface. These pieces range from intimate studies to larger wall works, finished by hand to let the material speak.

Sculptural Forms

Carved Objects

Three-dimensional pieces shaped from solid stock with an emphasis on balance, negative space, and tactile detail. Made to be experienced up close—turned in the hand, walked around, and viewed from changing light.

Commissioned Work

Custom Projects

One-of-a-kind carvings developed in conversation with collectors, designers, and curators. Scale, subject, materials, and installation needs are tailored to the space, with clear timelines and process updates.

Process Studies

Materials & Finish

Explorations of texture, tool marks, and surface treatments—from raw cuts to refined edges. These studies reveal how each decision shapes the final presence of the work, and often inform larger pieces.
