Tunnel Vision
Trielle™ Original Artwork by Todd Mitchell
Tunnel Vision is a groundbreaking original by artist Todd Mitchell, creator of the Trielle™ format—a triptych painting framed by four sculpted pillars of cast glass. This immersive work unveils a vision in three revelations: a fusion of time, truth, and transcendence.
With Tunnel Vision, the ordinary is left behind. What remains is a creation of brilliance—forged by relentless precision and fueled through focus. It is a convergence of vision and beauty, where every color creates a bridge leading to an incredible harmony.

Each brushstroke is a declaration, equally applied within the tension of time and excellence. Anchored in the classical medium of oil on panel, elevated by the framework, Tunnel Vision is one the most captivating works of art ever created. From the rich pigment layered in precision to the reflective power of the forged-glass relic that houses it, Tunnel Vision is born from the push of vulnerability into decisive action. The materials chosen—both primal and refined—are crafted with intention. The result is a visual monolith. Bold. Singular. Unrepeatable.
Tunnel Vision was made with the kind of obsession that overlooks no detail. Not the brushstrokes. Not the edges. Not even the frame. Tunnel Vision is not simply a painting. It is an artifact of pure intent—a triune expression sealed in glass, grounded in legacy, and made to endure. It is not simply a painting. In a world fragmented by distraction, Tunnel Vision offers something rare: Total focus. Not mass-produced. Not digitized. Not replicated.
Four pillars of brilliant hand forged glass. Three portals revealing the most captivating landscape on earth. Two years of refinement and mastery. One relentless pursuit of excellence.
Only one exists. Only one ever will.
Endless Colors, One Story. Every color of the spectrum, filtered through a focused lens. Although seemingly random, these diverse hues were micro-engineered to create macro-radiance. This piece carries every hue of the rainbow, each color layered with intention. Subtle when you first look. Striking when you really see. Everything working toward a singular, clear vision. What surrounds the painting is just as rare as what’s inside. This piece was never meant to blend in. Over 40 pounds of glass surround the canvas—not for protection, but for presence, held in place by 60 pounds of forged steel.
It’s not delicate. It’s not passive. It’s bold. A painting that feels more like a force. Most frames fade into the background. This one stands as part of the vision. Some materials are chosen for beauty. Others for story. These were chosen for both.
Koa wood sustainably sourced from Kaua’i provides the foundation for the three panels, a deep, rich Hawaiian hardwood known for its strength and soul.
Hand forged glass encase the work like a time capsule, built not just to preserve, but to magnify.
And highlighted throughout: hand-applied 24kt gold, catching light, marking the most intentional strokes with real value.
The Frame: A Structure Defined by Focus. Born in Fire. Finished by Hand.
The frame of Tunnel Vision is more than support — it's part of the story. Four glass pillars, each two inches thick, were cast using methods more often found in contemporary sculpture than traditional framing. Cast by world-renowned glass artist Kerry Johnson, the pillars were formed over 10 days inside a kiln, exposed to temperatures reaching 2,000°F, fusing strength with clarity. Once cooled and solidified, they were shaped with surgical precision by industrial waterjet, carving raw heat into architectural form. Finally, each piece was hand-painted by Todd Mitchell, merging the voice of the artist into the very structure that holds the work. Where most frames are afterthoughts, this one is a collaborator— a sculptural force forged in heat, cut with intention, and painted with care. It reflects the same values as the work it contains: focus, permanence, and transformation under pressure.
The frame doesn’t just hold the painting. It speaks its language in glass.
Own the Original
Tunnel Vision isn’t meant to decorate a space. It’s meant to define it. It’s a permanent record of what happens when an artist shuts out the world and leans all the way in. It’s proof of what focus can build. And there will never be another like it. This is not for the casual observer. This is a sealed moment of uncompromised creation. A collector’s invitation to own more than a painting— to hold a piece of obsession made physical. Everything else fades. This isn’t just a painting. It’s a mindset. Unfiltered. Locked in. All in. Created in full focus, Tunnel Vision doesn’t ask for attention—it captivates it. Tunnel Vision is what happens when you chase one idea until it becomes undeniable. When you find the true purpose for which you were born and embark on an unwavering journey to embrace it. You don’t stumble into a piece like this. You choose it.
