About the Item
A few years ago, I began developing high relief wall mounted sculptures, a departure from my longstanding practice of figures and heads sculpted in clay. I was seeking some of the spontaneity and contemporary voice I’d been envious of in collage artists’ work and wanted to find a way to get that energy into sculpture. By modeling and pressing found objects into clay, effectively sculpting a mold, the subsequent cast would be a kind of sculptural collage. The process was hiding in plain sight, incorporating in a mixed around way many of the same techniques sculptors commonly use for sculpting and casting works. After much experimentation and thought I settled on casting in the materials of super-hard “hydrocal” plasters blended with ground Carrara marble, which helped refract light in such a way that the works would read like carved relief sculptures. In this way I sought to link our culture’s achievements with those through history celebrated by sculptors in this same white stone.
Note that Cscape #52 and Cscape #53 were created sequentially and are the same in size and composition, containing many of the same elements differing principally only by the larger switch and outlet elements in the second piece.

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.
