Ron Nagle, “Intangible Assets,” 2016, ceramic, catalyzed polyurethane and epoxy resin, 4 3/8 x 6 1/2 x 3 1/4”

Continuing through April 8, 2017

Ron Nagle's exhibition, entitled "Ice Breakers," consists of small sculptures, each displayed in its own vitrine atop a white pedestal. These quirky works are meant to be seen from all sides as well as from above. They are perfectly balanced among being part surreal landscape, part body, part still-life. Nagle is a master at juxtaposing colors and textures that add up to works suggestive of something recognizable. In fact, these are purely imagined forms. The twenty sculptures are complemented by ten 8 1/2 by 11 inch minimally (gold, black, brown and white) colored drawings on vellum or brown craft paper that depict the sculptures as flat, two-dimensional wonders. The exhibition proves that minimal can be maximal.
