The freestanding version of the black 'bent cone' oscillates between an illusion of flatness and an illusion of spatial depth and recession. It has a quirky figurative aspect that grabs our interest yet what holds it is the evanescent condition of the figure. The apex of the triangular, conic shape serves as a fulcrum balancing two opposing movements in the work: a perspectival recession to a vanishing point and the pouring back of the shape from this point of origin into the material present.” —Gregory Salzman - "The images I use over and over again are those with the most references: how many different ways you can read them. The clearest example of what I'm after is the bent cone shape, because there are a maximum number of possible references. It works as two-dimensional shape, as relief, and in three dimensions, and has the same associations in all dimensions. The shape interests me because I am interested in perspective (mechanical or engineering): two lines moving into distance. There is a diversity in the way people see. Some always see flat. Others always in perspective.” —Robert Therrien Today is the last day to see "Robert Therrien," on view at Gagosian, San Francisco.
