The table tops of Rurak’s Action Series Low Tables feature his unique plates of individually hand-patinated steel. The smooth surface of the steel is populated with splashes and stains, finished with oil and buffed wax and then gilded along the edges in 24kt gold. The drum shaped base of the table is an assemblage of concrete, sand, rocks, pigment and paint applied with an expressionist rigor. Gold inlaid etchings are added impulsively, completing the work. Todd Merrill Studio began representing Brooklyn based artist Stefan Rurak in 2019.

Throughout each piece is evidence of the artist at work. A cast concrete drawer face or a cabinet’s steel...
