  • More about Royden Rabinowitch

This monograph showcases the work of Canadian sculptor Royden Rabinowitch, who is inspired by mathematician Henri Poincaré and distinguishes between abstract space and the space of ordinary human experience. His abstract metal and wooden sculptures recall the work of Minimalists but differ in their aim to alter the shape of the sculpture into a messier, asymmetrical form.

A comprehensive retrospective of the artist's career, this monograph presents a comprehensive documentation of nearly 40 abstract steel sculptures, alongside drawings and paintings. The artist, Royden Rabinowitch, was born in 1943 and his artistic approach is deeply influenced by his admiration for mathematician Henri Poincaré and his unique distinction between abstract space and the realm of ordinary human experience. While the forms of Rabinowitch's abstract metal and wooden sculptures bear a resemblance to the work of Minimalists like Richard Serra, his artistic goals diverge significantly from theirs.

One of his notable works, Grease Cone, is reproduced here. This sculpture consists of a black metal cone coated in grease. The cone itself evokes the purity of form associated with Minimalism, but the unevenly applied grease expresses Rabinowitch's profound interest in human space, as it alters the overall shape of the sculpture into a more chaotic and asymmetrical form.

Rabinowitch's sculptures are characterized by their intricate and abstract nature, reflecting his fascination with mathematical concepts and his desire to explore the boundaries between form and space. Through his work, he challenges the traditional notion of sculpture as a static object and instead invites viewers to engage with the dynamic and ever-changing nature of his creations.

This retrospective offers a deep insight into the artistic journey of Royden Rabinowitch, highlighting his contributions to the field of sculpture and his unique perspective on the world. It serves as a testament to his talent and dedication as an artist, and provides a valuable resource for scholars and art enthusiasts alike.
