Description
The Museum of Craft and Folk Art is proud to present newly commissioned work by Bay-Area conceptual artist Randy Colosky. The artist works with exacting physicality using commonplace and industrial materials altering the standard functions of traditional craftsman processes with a strong emphasis on the architectonic. Delving deeply into the character of materials, he dissects their codes and activates them with new ideas and associations.
Randy Colosky's practice is both conceptual and material-driven. Informed by theories from the domains of science and philosophy, Colosky probes the hidden properties of utilitarian and cast-off materials. Many of the works revolve around structures of repetition, tension, containment and the unorthodox possibilities of sculptural transformation.
Trained in traditional ceramics and building construction, Colosky freely incorporates anything within his intellectual and physical reach. Subtle, thought provoking and often witty, the work subverts received definitions of craft, art and design. These newly commissioned pieces challenge assumptions, while hovering around universal ideas of spirituality and transcendence.
