Golden Öyster is a wall-mounted sculpture by Finnish artist Teemu Salonen. At 120 cm tall, the work presents a dense, upward-reaching cluster of flower-like forms — translucent petals in violet, lavender, and pale yellow radiate outward from a luminous core, each lobe edged with a fine yellow-green fringe that catches light with an almost bioluminescent quality.
The structure rises from a branching metallic base that splits and curves like the roots or limbs of something found rather than made. A spray of deep green foliage emerges from the upper stem, grounding the composition in a tension between the botanical and the fantastical.
Crafted from biopolymer PLA with a polyester resin coating and hand-applied paint, the piece achieves a surface that shifts between matte and gloss depending on the angle of light. Designed for wall installation, Golden Öyster ships ready to hang and suits both private residences and curated gallery settings.
