Rodney Bursiel's Holocene

The Holocene arrests a room with the quiet authority of a work that understands its own scale, its composition balanced between tension and repose in a way that rewards prolonged looking. Rodney Bursiel's hand is assured and unhurried, guiding the eye through a pictorial space that feels at once expansive and considered. From John Richard, it is the kind of piece that does not merely hang on a wall but genuinely organizes a room around itself.
