🔊🔊 Sound On! We are open 12 pm - 5 pm through Labor Day Weekend. Benjamin Heller, "Yezed Soude," 2023, Carbonized Cherry Wood, Bleached Cherry, Steel, Felt The title of Benjamin Heller’s group of sculptures, “Inner Tidal” refers to an “Intertidal Zone”, which is the edge of an ecosystem that is alternately above and below the waterline at the edge of a river or ocean. The handmade wood and stone sculptures are of an intimate human scale that can be held in the hands or hold the body. The pieces are punctuated by the intimate landmarks of the interior and exterior of the human body abstracted by the fluid natural forces that transform the landscape. This phenomenon of solid yet moving ground is also present in the nested bases that are carved hold the impression of the sculptures. The carved “Drop” sculptures are solid wood, yet fluid in form and movement. They are self-balancing so that they can be held and moved into different relationship with each other. In order to achieve this fluidity and carefully balanced center of gravity, these sculptures are painstakingly hand made through a gradual and labor intensive process of carving, sanding, and being carved internally and filled with lead as ballast. Benjamin Heller is a cross-disciplinary artist based in New York City. At 19, he moved to New York, and began working in design and creating visuals for advertising. His sculpture practice is is self-taught, and draws from a diverse training in visual arts and physical improvisation. See the exhibition at the 🔗 LINK IN BIO DM Robin for price and availability.

You're invited to our next show, the duo exhibition of RJ Muna's "Fleeting Gestures" and Benjamin Heller's "Inner Tidal." Slide 1: 1090, 2019, Archival Pigment Print by RJ Muna Slide 2: 9587, 2019, Archival Pigment Print by RJ Muna Slide 3: 2034, 2019, Archival Pigment Print by RJ Muna Slide 4: Cherry, 2018, Carved Cherry Wood, Internal Lead Ballast, Oil Pigment on Mahogany by Benjamin Heller Slide 5: We, 2018, Carved Mahogany and Walnut Wood, Internal Lead Ballast, Oil Pigment by Benjamin Heller Slide 6: Seven, 2018, Carved Bloodwood, Walnut, Padua, Cherry, Internal Lead Ballast by Benjamin Heller Nazraeli Press will be releasing RJ Muna’s book entitled “Fleeting Gestures” in October 2024, following our exhibition. Both give the viewer enough cues to make out a recognizable form, but also intentionally evoke a sense of ambiguity in their own respects; Benjamin Heller’s using touch and shape, and RJ Muna’s using visual abstraction to create a flowing appearance and motion conveyed between both artists’ work. The earth-tones and fluid features of these photographs resonate with the carved golden oak and steel of “Siren” a sculpture by Benjamin Heller, presented on a pedestal centered between Muna’s surrounding photography. Viewers are invited to touch and engage with the tactile aspects of this work. Heller’s intention is for it to be viewed from all sides, as the light shifts across the polished surface to reveal the sculpture’s subtleties in relief, with formations and curves that encourage touch.

🔊Sound On! “Visitor” by Bill Phelps is on view now through November 26th, 2023. Bill Phelps, “Brooklyn One”, NYC, 2010, Archival Pigment Print Through light and shadow, a gaze, a mindset, Bill Phelps fourth solo show at the Robin Rice Gallery VISITOR inspires the imagination. About life, about being, eye and heart his greatest companions, in images that breathe in their own atmosphere. A moment of pure sincerity, a world of surrealism, or suspended reality. It’s like a wondrous path in which spontaneity, intimacy and a truthful eye are at play time and again. You feel time passing, memories forming or coming to the surface, capturing the moment and its eternity with your mind’s eye but also in his. The VISITOR projects this otherworldly image of someone in search of something more, a deeper understanding of life, or maybe a youthful appreciation of it, or maybe both. The captured quiet of the muse seen through the suspended focus of the 8x10 view camera, the nuance, the in-between, the gaze. Every human being is a poet, a dancer, a VISITOR. “Bill Phelps is a photographer with more than a questing eye; he strips the fat off the soul in images that speak to his profound capacity for empathy. He sees light with the intuition and depth of an Old Master. His storytelling distills a moment into its different tensions, exposing themes of freedom, compassion, beauty and desire. These dynamics give his painterly instincts the piquancy of a modern abstract, transforming every picture into a passport to a place beyond the everyday.” - Sophy Roberts, Travel writer and author of “The Lost Pianos of Siberia” 325 West 11th Street, New York, NY, 10014.
