Balzac’s Robe

Description

Artist’s Statement:

Bernard Mindich is a multimedia artist with a long history of producing and exhibiting work in photography, painting and sculpture. His latest creations, broadly titled “Sculpture Dreams,” are generally fabricated in aluminum and steel. While his sculpture is rarely a direct reflection of reality, the work always flows spontaneously but seems to move subconsciously into what Mr. Mindich characterizes as eccentric, often biomorphic, shapes; sometimes suggesting humans in lonely and longing postures. But mostly the artist sees these sculptures as totally ambiguous objects of curiosity and mystery, leaving interpretation open ended and “uncertain.” Indeed, one of his favorite qualities in art is a simple “agnosia” — or the “knowing, by not knowing.”
