Robert Rickard Contemporary Metal Wall Art 4 Piece Contemplation Collection

Description: Robert Rickard’s metalwork is a masterful blend of vivid color and natural elegance. His sculptures are known for their intricate designs and the nuanced interplay of metals, including copper, bronze, and iron. Rickard’s process begins with cutting detailed patterns into a base metal, which he then coats with other metals and applies chemical patinas and dye oxides. This technique creates a rich array of hues and textures, reflecting his deep understanding of material properties and chemical reactions. Each piece embodies a scientific approach combined with artistic sensibility. The metals react differently to finishes, resulting in unique colorations and effects that enhance the sculptures’ visual depth. Rickard’s work is meticulous, characterized by a careful balance of negative space, proportion, and craftsmanship. Inspired by his early experiences in set design and a lifelong passion for hands-on creation, Rickard’s metalwork often conveys a sense of movement and transformation. His art reflects a deep appreciation for quality craftsmanship and a commitment to exploring new materials and techniques, making his work both innovative and evocative.

About the Artist: Robert Rickard’s artwork is a striking fusion of vivid color and natural beauty. His pieces reflect the sunset hues he observes from his century-old lakefront studio, where he crafts memorable sculptures that explore the diverse properties of metals—rigidity, pliability, and their inherent chemical characteristics. Rickard employs a scientific approach to his art. He begins by cutting intricate designs into a base metal, which he then coats with layers of copper, bronze, and iron. Each metal interacts uniquely with chemical patinas and dye oxides, resulting in a rich and varied color palette. Rickard’s meticulous process involves continuous learning and experimentation with new materials and finishes. His craftsmanship is deeply rooted in his early experiences. Growing up in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Francisco Bay area during the 50s and 60s, Rickard’s hands-on work began in childhood. His architectural sense of negative space, proportion, and balance, combined with a profound understanding of quality craftsmanship gained from his theater work, significantly influences his art. His background includes creating elaborate set designs, from cherry trees that shed leaves nightly to intricate Victorian rooms and Shakespearean forests illuminated with twinkling lights. Rickard’s experience in set design has endowed him with a unique perspective, enhancing his ability to create compelling collaborative installations. His work has earned him notable recognition, including being a Niche Awards Winner and a juried participant in several prestigious shows. Rickard expresses his gratitude for the warm reception of his work in galleries and collectors' homes, reflecting his deep appreciation for the art community.
