Francisco Rosario
Anachronic, Original Abstract Sculpture, 2021

2021

About the Item

Artist Commentary: Anachronic is a piece in a body of work exploring sound and the way that it inhabits space in the built environment. The pattern, repetition, and weaving represent the rhythm, texture, and syncopation of sound. This piece represents an envelope of sound, a finite piece of time, a controlled environment. It is heavily influenced by my time as a DJ and the practice of connecting patterns. It is about a controlled process - the merging of a creative practice with an understanding of materials and technique. In this object the marks of process are left bare, witness to the hand, craft, and labor. It is an homage to skilled work and the workers I learned from. Keywords: 3D, plane, wood, metal Artist Biography: Leaning into a bias toward abstraction/intuition, artist Francisco Rosario works in geometric sculpture to create power objects that hold space, acceptance, and ownership. Utilizing repeating forms and woven texture his work is inspired by elements of sound, timing, repetition and the reverse engineering of rhythm and pattern. Through his use of techniques and materials employed in modern and indigenous building trades, his process is an intuitive exploration of the effort of immigrants and first generation Latinx citizens to distinguish themselves within a sea of statistics and establish a home, a contribution, and an expressive self. Rosario's work acknowledges the privilege of a creative practice and represents interests, experiences, and cultural contributions of people of color and the working class. The repetition prescribes a sense of order to the chaos of anonymity and the fragility of our participation and identity.

fan 19 - Original Abstract Wood Sculpture
Located in Boston, MA
fan 19 48.0 x 35.0 x 3.0, 17.0 lbs Wood Founder's stamp Artist's Commentary: "Wood wall sculpture. 48 inches wide. I work with wood like a painter works with oils and a sculptor with stone. From a distance, lines, shapes, contours and shadows are easily seen but when you move from side to side, the change in perspective alters the image like the features of a face when it turns. If a light source moves, shadows in the piece move with it like the sun moving across a landscape. As you approach the piece, shallow contours appear like swells on a lake and intricate patterns emerge. You can't help but touch the smooth flowing surface to feel the highly finished solid wood. The furniture grade modified tung oil allows that. It also makes my art easy to clean if necessary. The lines and shapes in my art are the natural colors of solid wood joined along curves. No inlays, veneers, dyes or stains are used." About the Artist: Marc Lamm is a self-taught wood-artist who has been art since 1973. In 1996, he began developing techniques which he uses in his art. In 2011, he began making wood-wall-sculptures and has pieces in Mayo...
