New HD Photographs of "Morpheus"

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

Breaking Molds: New Sculptures

Hey Everyone, Just thought I'd keep ya in the loop! While I've been working on how I want to finished 2 more "Knots" and "The Promise", I've begun casting 2 more large-scale sculptures. One is a 2-piece mold and the other is a 3-piece mold. I'm excited about all the different possibilities I have on finishing these sculptures. I want these sculptures to be unlike any shape you've ever seen. These organomorphic shapes may be simplistic in form, but they will evoke ethereal

Sculpture Debut: "Duchamp's Gene"

I'd like to introduce my newest sculpture to my "Genes & Chromosomes" Series, "Duchamp's Gene". It's easy enough to see the infuence behind this sculpture. Sometimes simplicity is just superficial. I'll let you all form your own opinions. Enjoy. - RP "Duchamp's Gene", mixed media, 48"h x 18"w x 18"d, 2016. "Duchamp's Gene", mixed media, 48"h x 18"w x 18"d, 2016.

Featured Work on Paper: Shape Study #3

Hey Everyone, Just thought I'd let everyone know that Cat and I have shot and posted some new works on paper that are a part of my "Genes & Chromosomes" Series. Be sure to check them all out. This particular piece called, "Shape Study #3" was more difficult to photograph because I used an iridescent ink on part of it. It is really cool to see this piece in person because it changes depending on the viewing angle. I hope you all enjoy it, and keep checking back for new piece

"The Promise", Sculpture in Progress

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

Featured Sculpture: Techno-Primitive II

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

Featured Artwork: The Disclosure of Knowledge

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"
