Show runs May 20th to June 2nd.
Opening reception, Friday May 22nd, 5-7pm.
Greg Reiche uses stone, glass, and metal to create dynamic sculpture ranging from monumental site-specific work to small studio pieces. Stone and metal contribute a sense of timelessness, strength and solidity to his work, while reflective glass elements breathe life and energy into the static materials. Reiche’s responsive glass tiles make invisible aspects of the environment visible to the viewer, reflecting air movements as well as subtle changes in light and shadows. These basic sculptural elements transcend time and culture, and together create enduring and powerful works of art.
For “Into the Wind,” Reiche has created a powerful new body of kinetic sculpture. These dynamic and poetic works draw upon two basic energetic forces of nature that are prevalent in our natural southwestern environment: solar and wind power. For this one-man show at Pippin Contemporary, Reiche integrates these elemental forces into iconic, evocative forms that have been crafted from traditional sculptural materials of stone, metal and glass.
