Richard Rezac

"If I can put this correctly, Richard Rezac is an artist of whom I am wary. His work at first seems so simple, it’s modest in scale (considering the ambitious trumpeting of much modern sculpture), rarely the most immediately dramatic piece in the room, stunningly subtle and imbued with a quiet fire that only eventually becomes all absorbing, that might be missed with a too cursory glance.

I know that I’m going to have to bring my lunch, so to speak, that Rezac’s work requires time, almost meditation-like time, that it does not give up its secrets easily, that I have to get my heartbeat and breathing slowed up enough to enter this work, that I have to puzzle out the path he has pursued. It’s always a journey worth taking."

"when Monday comes I want nothing
Come Tuesday morning I want the same
The days and nights fly by
Looking to embrace the nothing, of the everyday"

Ricky Swallow,
unique bronzes, 2009.
images taken form here.

these two pieces are from a series called, "the days aren't different enough." these unique bronzes, from 2009, have stayed in my recent memory ever since i first saw them in south willard....

this morning, i awoke to a long list of chores in my mind, almost a deja vu from the day before, and the day before... one of those moments, when you ask yourself, "am i making progress, or is today just the same as yesterday?"

i also pulled these pieces because i have spent a lot of time looking at bronzed work, studying the colors, the finishes,etc...



"the days aren't different enough." i can relate, a little bit too much this morning.
