About the Item
In my effort to make the sculpted bust a viable contemporary art form I have tried several approaches. This under-life-size piece is an early example of my current preferred approach where a ‘tightly’ modeled head and expressive face is coupled with a dynamic, abstracted hair form. The juxtaposition and resulting tension makes for a dynamic presence in the actual piece.
The patina is one I developed over many years, selected for its ability to accentuate the sculpted form and reflect light in a way similar to that of human skin. This patina contains finely ground metal and stone powders and is applied in several hardened layers creating a durable, glowing finish.
The base is steel, of my design, and suitable for tabletop or shelf.

BIO My sculptural practice engages traditional sculptural forms to explore cultural questions that puzzle or intrigue me. I generally find myself introducing some contemporary material, found object or other element into classical figurative or representational contexts. In recent years my work has centered on the human head/bust. Prior to that I developed a large body of high-relief, wall-hung sculptures made by pressing objects into clay, thereby creating a mold, then pouring over it a single cast of hard plasters blended with powdered Carrara marble. Bob was born in Oakland, CA and lives and has his studio in Rye, NY. His work has been exhibited in solo shows in Santa Fe (Jane Sauer Gallery) and New York (Lower East Side-Dacia Gallery and Bushwick- Anthony Philip Fine Art) as well as group shows in Paris, Hong Kong, Italy and throughout the U.S. His sculptures are in permanent collections of the Burchfield-Penney Museum in Buffalo, NY and Museo Arte Contemporanea Sicilia in Italy. The work has been reviewed in numerous art publications including Hyperallergic and featured in the NY Times, Wall St Journal and other national media. Bob spent 8 years in formal study of sculpture, centering on his years at the Art Students League of New York.
