Precisely composed and impeccably fabricated, Richard Rezac's sculptures feel a bit like fragments of a high-end manufacturing process, re-combined by machinery with an evolving mind of its own. It's like Thom Yorke once said: Everything in its Right Place. Yet the substantial vitality of Rezac's understated work lies in the contrast of materials (say, polished metal and wood coated in high-gloss color), and the configuration of repeating shapes, skewed towards asymmetry. Most pieces are untitled and wall-mounted at eye level, inviting examination and a slow-burning appreciation of their formal qualities. If the artist's hand is effaced in the minimal sculptures, Rezac's large-scale drawings (integral to the exhibition) avow his role as draftsman and mastermind, revealing the objects' hidden structures and traces of the design process.
