Richard Heinrich: Sculpture features small-scale works in metal as well as works on paper. The sculptures in bronze and steel represent a survey of the last 16 years of the artist’s career.

Working in the modernist tradition, Heinrich creates abstract sculpture that focuses on materials, weight and forms in space. These tabletop sculptures are strong, dynamic and architectural in spirit. Many of the pieces are forged and welded steel, and some are cast bronze. All have a rich, velvety surface that belies their actual density. Heinrich generally works in a vertical format, and the overall composition relates indirectly to the human form. His drawings are black and white, and also reductive – there is nothing extraneous or over worked. He states: “I take beautiful but inanimate substances… and, hopefully, give them a new life beyond their structural chemistry.”
