David Richard Gallery is pleased to debut the newest series of minimalist sculptures by New York-based artist, Roland Gebhardt. This presentation, Framing Perceptual Illusions: A Series of Wall Sculptures Examines Presence, Absence, and Voids, Gebhardt's third solo exhibition with the gallery, includes 10 of the 13 new sculptures in the series referred to collectively as “Frames”  produced throughout 2021. Structurally, the Frames are wall mounted constructions of white-painted wood, measuring 42 inches high by 42 inches wide and projecting 12 inches off the surface of the wall, that read as open frames hanging with the wall fully visible within and around the wooden confines of the frame. Each is comprised of one or two parallel vertical columns measuring 6 x 6 inches square laid on and attached perpendicularly at the corners (generally, or slightly off center for the T-shaped sculptures noted below) of one or two parallel horizontal columns of the same dimensions. The completed series includes structures that are either square, an upside-down-U, an upside-down-T, L-shapes, or an asymmetric cross structure.
