Rock and Michele Richardson

Art Brokerage: Rock and Michele Richardson American Artists: Rock Richardson has won many awards and accolades for his very textured yet very gentle and beautiful forms. The technique requires each piece is hand poured insuring that each piece is truly "One of a Kind". Male and female torsos, front and back in different finishes like pewter, gold, brass, bronze or mixed materials. The process that Rock has developed over the last ten years yields a distinct and provocative texture, a trademark of his unique artwork. The work is first created in clay, then through various mold making techniques a permanent mold is created of the finished clay model. By slowly, hand dripping fine unleaded pewter into and onto these specially created molds and then manipulating that metal with flame, gravity, and touch, and using tools that he designed and built specifically for this process, he is able to create a very unique and provocative piece of art. Like man, no two pieces will ever be identical. His philosophy towards his work is summed up by this statement, "one drip at a time, one piece at a time, one customer at a time". He uses the finest unleaded pewter available, many of his pieces are a combination of metal finishes including, brass, copper, and 24-carat gold. Each finished piece is carefully sanded and brushed to a fine finish by his wife, Michele. Listings wanted.
