John Richards Blue Rabbit "Headlight" Wall Light FL6560

North Carolina folk artist John D. Richards transforms a familiar animal into an imaginative work of functional art with this whimsical blue rabbit wall lamp, one of his signature illuminated sculptures known as "Headlights." Richards begins by constructing a wire framework, carefully layering tissue paper over the form to create a sculptural surface for his hand-drawn illustrations, playful symbols, and philosophical observations.

The rabbit features a pale blue head, long upright ears, protruding eyes, and an exaggerated snout. Its surface is densely covered with intricate black ink drawings, small figures, and handwritten sayings, including the thought-provoking observation, "If You Have a Map Which Does Not Fit the Terrain... Change the Map."

Designed for wall display, the lamp illuminates from within, bringing warmth and an entirely new dimension to Richards' colorful and intricately decorated creation. Part sculpture, part functional lighting, this one-of-a-kind "Headlight" captures the artist's humor, craftsmanship, and delightfully unconventional approach to contemporary Southern folk art.

11" deep (extending from the wall), 12" tall and 6" deep.
