Castigation Jud Bergeron "The Crystallized Baby" (2011). Painted steel, 48 x 24 x 20 in.
Opening November 4th, 5:30pm Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art is pleased to present Castigation, an exhibition of new sculptural works by gallery stalwart Jud Bergeron, alongside peers Albert Dicruttalo and Wayne Shaffer. Castigation is the culmination of a three-way, decade-long creative conversation among three mature, mid-career artists framed within the visual syntax of steel, bronze, ceramic, and wood. Viewed individually, each work on display represents a highly expressive, thoroughly probed and deeply personal reaction to the uncertainty and impermanence – often welcomed, sometimes dreaded – that suffuses everyday life in the 2010s. Viewed as a whole, this assembled body of sculpture simultaneously argues for and exemplifies a careful balance of the cerebral with the visceral, the formal with the naïve, and the deliberate with the reflective as a strategy for approaching the creative experience.
