Stretching The Imagination
American Art Collector|December 2019
While painting relies fundamentally on its ability to create a threedimensional illusion through a combination of elements like volume and perspective, the medium of sculpture utilizes a literal three-dimensional space through shape and movement of the physical form.
Stretching The Imagination

It’s a powerful medium that can completely change the atmosphere of a room. A forthcoming exhibition at RJD Gallery, Collectors Holiday Sculpture Special, features a diverse body of striking sculptural works, on view for the month of December.

“In our collaborative research to expand the RJD curatorial focus and to better serve our collectors, we decided to create and offer a fresh dimensional difference through sculpture, which for any collection, adds a richness to the narrative. This unique and unusual body of sculptures, based on realism and magical realism, provides a diverse opportunity to enjoy this new expanded perspective,” says principal Richard J. Demato, along with Joi Jackson Perle and MAGO, who assist in running the gallery.

Artists involved in the exhibition hail from around the world, including Beth Carter (United Kingdom), Yoan Capote (Cuba), Gabriel Moreno (Spain), Agnetha Sjögren (Sweden/UK) and Quentin Garel (France).
