poster for Robert Thiele "Recent Works"

This event has ended.

The artist's works of recent years embrace physical aspects and formal concerns of both sculpture and painting. Although for a number of years he made works which were free-standing and involved such weighty materials as cast concrete and dimensions exceeding those of a standing person, the recent works are all wall-sited, though they vary in scale from objects which could be held in one hand to planar structures with five foot dimensions.

While certain earlier works have alluded to elements of the human figure, he has recently made a series of works containing heads. He is, however, direct in stating that these are not portraits of individuals, in that the works lack the specificity of that re-creating of the actual. The heads in these recent works are sited behind a scrim of Plexiglas covered with silk, thereby diffusing the image.
