About the Item

Ray Geary Bruce #9, 2016 Steel Incised signature, title and date on the underside 10 x 7 inches Bruce # 9 is one of ten unique sculptures that popular young sculptor Ray Geary made exclusively for the Whitney Museum. Below is how the Museum described the series: These fanciful totemic objects, lovingly named Bruce, are made of steel purchased from a scrap metal yard in the Meatpacking District, just a short walk from the Whitney's 99 Gansevoort Street location. They represent the neighborhood's industrial past and the change and rebirth that it, and the rest in New York, is constantly going through. Ray Geary (b. 1983) is a self taught mixed media artist whose large scale work in resin and acrylic feature graphic abstraction and iconic, obtuse faces in equal measure. His process-driven works being with pours, which become the subjects of his compositions, seemingly acting of their own accord. Blending European traditions of "primitivism" and a pop-inspired sensibility toward the abject, his anthropomorphized spills and puddles offer a playful investigation into materiality.  - courtesy of the artist Provenance: Acquired directly from the Whitney Museum in Gansevoort in 2016.
