Description of the Artwork “CUT AND FOLDED”
This abstract sculpture, conceived in 2022, offers a unique combination of materials and technique. Made from sheet steel, each piece has been carefully curved and hand-welded, revealing Ricky Reese's technical mastery. The surface features a chrome and oxidized finish, which adds an intriguing visual dimension and plays with the viewer's perception by reflecting its surroundings in a distorted way. The dimensions of 60 × 55 × 25 cm make this work a focal point of any space, reflecting modernity through industrial materials transformed into art.
Ricky Reese, Spain
I began my career as a photographer, and traveled the world, portraying places, moments and beings, from a different and personal perspective and approach. That professional experience in visual art provided me with knowledge, sensitivity and inspiration, which I later channeled into my other great passion, sculpture. As a material I chose steel, which is quite a challenge due to its complexity to transform it, join it, give it an aesthetic finish, and convert a fragment of that noble material into a creative and emotional proposal. My tireless search for aesthetics and beauty is reflected in the simplicity of my sculptures. They are the result of the ideas that arise from within me, to conceive figures and spaces that transmit movement, sobriety and elegance. My goal as an artist is not simply to create a piece in order to decorate a space, but rather that my work can be admired as a personal and contemporary object, which provokes thought, interpretation and dialogue. My wish is for the public to enjoy my works, as I do when I create and perform them.
