Hello! Cat here... Ralph and I spent last weekend playing with new photo equipment, and I'm so excited to share these new HD photographs of "Morpheus" with you all!! Sculpture is difficult to photograph because you can never really capture the real life 3 dimensionality of the piece. However, I genuinely feel these picture bring new life to Ralph's "Morpheus", and will allow the online viewer to get a better feel for what the piece looks like in person... (It's still more i

Hey Everyone, Here's a quick update on what I've been working on recently. I've got many large scale sculptures that are underway and let me tell you, I'm really excited.

Ralph has been hard at work on many new sculptures this late summer, and I will continue to keep you all posted with behind the scenes photos of my madartist and his latest creations! Here's one of my favorites so far... what do you all think? It's not finished by any means, but I think the idea is incredible and can see this installation hanging in a museum soon!

Just a quick update before we head out to deliver "The Remainder of Unusable Equations" to the Biennial Exhibition at the Wiregrass Museum of Art next week... Ralph has been working hard this summer on 3 large scale "organomorphic" sculptures. They are now all ready to be finished! I'm not exactly certain what he has in mind, but I'll be sure to keep you all updated on his progress, but I'm so excited to watch this particular sculpture's evolution! Cheers! - Cat Don't miss a

Hey Everyone, Yesterday morning I woke up to some great news (other than being on a weekend beach vacation!). I became a featured artist on mandalsanat, a really well done art website out of Istanbul, Turkey. They showcase an exclusive collection of contemporary artists from around the world, and I am delighted to be one of the artists they have chosen to feature. Cheers! - RP Please check out my feature, and their website, by clicking the image below: Follow my progress… In

Here's a quick update on one of Ralph's newest in-progress large-scale sculptures, currently entitled, "The Promise". He has been spending hours upon hours painstakingly sanding this piece in order to create the highest quality finish possible. He and I have been talking about ideas about colors/patterns. He's got some pretty rad ideas!! It won't change his mind, but I'm curious, how would you all finish it? Feel free to comment below! Cheers! - Cat As always click the lin

This week I would like to feature a public/outdoor sculpture entitled, "Techno-Primitive II". It is the second of a series of two. They are both large-scale sculptures featuring giant ceramic "heads" in the middle of steel sprues. The ceramic heads feature many layers of different glazes, including a "top secret" glaze that I invented in order for the head to have a very textured surface. This particular piece was on display in downtown Charlotte, NC for over a year as pub

This week I'd like to feature a work on paper of mine called, "The Disclosure of Knowledge". There are many elements in this drawing, and the more you look at it, the more you begin to see and form your own understanding of what is occurring. One of the greatest things about art is that you draw from your own personal experiences and "connect" with different artworks in different ways at different times throughout your life. Stay creative! - RP "The Disclosure of Knowledge"

Happy 2016 Everyone! I have decided to try to post between 1 to 2 blogs per week, it’s no resolution; it’s to keep you all updated and keep me interacting with you! First, there will be a weekly featured piece of artwork with details, pictures and a selling price in case you, or someone you know, might be interested in adding one of my sculptures to your collection. Many of the photographs of my older sculptures need to be retaken, so I will be posting new pictures of them a

Hey Everyone, I know it's been quite some time since Cat or I have been able to post any updates. We have been so busy remodeling the new "old" studio, and getting it set up so I can begin to create again! We almost have everything moved in and I began to be able to work about a month ago. Now it's tme to let you all see some pictures and be updated more regularly now that we are pretty much situated. Here are some before and after pictures! Mind you this warehouse had b

BIG NEWS! Ralph was chosen to be a featured artist in a really well composed and up and coming contemporary art magazine: Expose Art Magazine. He has a 4 page spread featuring an article written by him and 3 sculptures from the his "Genes & Chromosomes" Series. This edition of the magazine is availble for purchase, a paper or digital copy, and well worth a few bucks for the copy! This edition will also be available at EXPO CHICAGO, the International Exposition of Contemporar

Good Evening Everyone... Sorry for the choppy pano picture, but there's not enough light in the storage space to do an good pano so this will have to do. You'll need to zoom in to see all of the details, but here's just HALF of everything in storage. It is really incredible to see everything on level ground since it was being stored on 2 separate loft areas in my old studio, and this is just half of it! Each pallet is jammed packed weighing between 1,000-2,000 lbs. It took

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates, but we have been INCREDIBLY busy moving. It has been a very labor intensive and tiring 3-4 weeks for Ralph. However, I'm happy to report that we finally completed phase 1 of our move by moving the two final and biggest pieces of art and equipment left in the old studio... the huge steel "skeleton" and the forklift!! All of Ralph's artworks and tools have been put into a storage warehouse while our new space is being renovated. I

Good Evening! I'm pleased to finally announce that I am moving into a much larger, and much needed new studio! Cat and I are looking forward to this new adventure. This larger space will allow me to work on several projects at once, and I am looking forward to being able to get back to making art instead of packing and moving art. There's a lot of work to do as this large, historic space is in the process of being renovated, but my tools and all of my artworks, are being pac

Hey Everyone! I have some great news on the horizon, but not ready to release it quite yet. In the mean time, I’ve been cleaning out my studio, moving some sculptures around to make room for some new and big adventures. Create something today. - RP Here's why things need to move around... All of my sculptures are large scale, and I need some room to grow! Pictured here is an older outdoor public sculpture. Keep hanging on, news is around the corner... #ceramic #sprues #met
